Description: | The PIR unshaded and the PIR shaded have a persistent offset between them, ranging from 0 to 10 W/m2. It is particularly apparent during clear sky. The line of sight of the PIRd is obstructed making it difficult to assess the problem. The instrument was moved to its proper location in early February. The problem seems to have resolved itself with the move. |

Subject: | NSA/GNDRAD/C1 - Noisy PIR Data |
DataStreams: | nsagndrad60sC1.a1 |
Description: | During the period referenced, the ground PIR was noisy in comparison to the sky PIR data. At the end of November, the noise increased to roughly 10 W/m2 from peak to peak. After 12/23/98, the noise decreased in amplitude but still had noisy patterns. On 01/17-18/99, there was an increase again in the noise level (4 GMT 01/17 - 5 GMT 01/18). During this period the gndrad IRT data also exhibited noise patterns (the IRT was not operational). In February, the instrument exhibited large noise variations again. On 02/16, a wiring problem was corrected and the noise dropped back to 1-5 W/m2. However, the noise levels began to increase again. |

Description: | Around local midnight 9:30-10:30 GMT during summer clear sky the normal incidence pyranometer is shaded by the instrument stand.This causes the reading to be 0 W/m2. If cosine correction is applied for irradiance calulations this effect is negligible due to the low solar angle. |

DataStreams: | nsaskyrad60sC1.b1 |
Description: | A problem with the SKYRAD IRT that itermittantly produced a gradual increase in the sky temperature measurement then a sudden correction, as compared to AERI, appears to have been caused by a combination of a failing IR detector, a poor signal cable, a contaminated (with condensation or frost) mirror or lens, and low ambient temperatures. The positive bias was apparently not consistant in either frequency or duration but on days when the unusual behavior is observed, it usually occurred from about 00:00 to 06:00 local time. The instrument was repaired and recalibrated and the signal cable replaced. |

This is due to removal of thermal offsets induced by the AC heater during the power outage. This heater is installed within the PSP ventilator - it is necessary for the NSA/C1 climate. The upwelling longwave PIR instrument is unaffected due to case and dome temperature corrections. The IRT is AC powered and was not operational during this time period. |

The data collected while the incorrect procedures were in place are being reprocessing to remove the calibration bias. Note, this also affected standard deviation, maximum and minimum data fields. |

DataStreams: | nsaskyrad20sC1.a0, nsaskyrad60sC1.b1 |
Description: | Starting Dec 16th the Skyrad PIR1 and PIR2 (down_long_hemispheric)started differing by greater than 30W/m2 at times. This is much greater than expected for these instruments (typical is <10-15 W/m2). NSA OMIS reports and observer comments reveal that PM periodically clean the snow from the IRT and ventilator fans on Skyrad and Gndrad. In the case of the Skyrad PIRs, one lies in the wind shadow of the other and builds up more snow which is periodically cleaned out and then builds up again causing the PIR1 PIR2 discrepancies. Disregard down_long_hemispheric during this time period. However, data suggests PIR2 is most likely at fault - potentially use PIR1 data during this time period. |

DataStreams: | nsaskyrad20sC1.a1, nsaskyrad60sC1.a1 |
Description: | The PIRD was incorrectly set from 12/9/98 to 12/12/98 that resulted in an error of approximately 3.7% (was set to 243902 instead of 235294). |

Subject: | NSA/SKYRAD/C1 - IRT removed for repair |
DataStreams: | nsaskyrad60sC1.a1, nsaskyradC1.00 |
Description: | The instrument was damaged by internal water condensation caused by the exterior foam insulation used to keep the IRT above freezing. It was returned in July 1998 to the manufacturer for repair. |

Subject: | NSA/GNDRAD/C1 - Reprocess: IRT insufficiently heated |
DataStreams: | nsagndrad60sC1.a1 |
Description: | IRT had insufficient heating to maintain an internal reference temperature above 0 degrees C. Measurements of surface temperature were over-estimated when instrument was below freezing. Data will be reprocessed, but users can correct data using the following correction factor: If T_reference < -5?C, then IRT_corrected = (IRT_original - 32.993K)/0.87238 where T_reference can be estimated with the ambient temperature (e.g. inst_up_long_hemisp_dome_temp or inst_up_long_dome_temp) |

Subject: | NSA/SKYRAD/C1 - Reprocess: IRT insufficiently heated |
DataStreams: | nsaskyrad60sC1.a1 |
Description: | IRT had insufficient heating to maintain an internal reference temperature above 0 degrees C. Measurements of sky temperature were over-estimated when instrument was below freezing. Data will be reprocessed, but users can correct data using the following correction factor: If T_reference < -5?C, then IRT_corrected = (IRT_original - 32.993K)/0.87238 where T_reference can be estimated with the ambient temperature (e.g. inst_down_long_hemisp_dome_temp or inst_down_long_dome_temp) |
