Subject: | NSA/GNDRAD/C1 - Noisy PIR Data |
DataStreams: | nsagndrad60sC1.a1, nsagndrad60sC1.b1 |
Description: | During the period referenced, the ground PIR was noisy in comparison to the the sky PIR data. (Note U021211.1 documents same problem for 9/1/98-2/28/99) The noise problem continued after the GNDRAD data logger was replaced in late September. Particularly strong examples of the noise can be seen in data from 11/10 - 11/19/99. The peak to peak noise reaches 12 W/m2. |

DataStreams: | nsagndrad60sC1.a1, nsagndrad60sC1.b1 |
Description: | Each day around 02:00 - 03:30 GMT there is a unexpected decrease for the PSP irradiance measurement due to a shading problem associated with the swing set location relative to the instrument shelter. The GNDRAD NET and MFR instrument data also reflects this problem. Problem was resolved when the GNDRAD instruments were moved to the 10 meter tip tower. |

Subject: | NSA/SKYRAD/C1 - NIP shaded by skyrad stand around local midnight |
DataStreams: | nsaskyrad60sC1.a1, nsaskyrad60sC1.b1 |
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.a1, nsaskyrad60sC1.b1 |
Description: | Just past local midnight (11:00-11:40 GMT during summer clear sky) the global hemispherical pyranometer is shaded by the MFRSR instrument for about 40 minutes. This causes the reading to be 0 W/m2. This effect would be negligible in a daily average due to the low solar angle. |

Subject: | NSA/SKYRAD/C1 - IRT measurements during precipitation events |
DataStreams: | nsaskyrad60sC1.b1 |
Description: | The IRT measurement of sky/cloud temperature was in question during precipitation events because rain or snow could accumulate in the upward-pointed lens barrel. This was corrected by reorienting the IRT to measure the sky temperature as reflected by a gold mirror. |

Subject: | NSA/SKYRAD/C1 - Summer solstice shading of radiometers |
DataStreams: | nsaskyrad60sC1.b1 |
Description: | On and around the summer solstice, the NIP (Direct Normal shortwave measurement) and PSP (global hemispheic shortwave measurement) radiometers are shaded by other instruments or support structures. Shading azimuths have been determined for this site. The radiometer mentor suggests not using the data from the NIP and PSP radiometers when the sun is within the following azimuth bounds (typically from May 8th to August 5th of each year): Instrmt Obstruction AzStart AzEnd NIP rad table 346 358 NIP met tower 13 15 PSP mfrsr 6 16 |

Subject: | NSA/GNDRAD/C1 - Reprocess: IRT insufficiently heated |
DataStreams: | nsagndrad60sC1.b1 |
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/MFR10M/C1 - Instrument rotated skyward to check calibration |
DataStreams: | nsamfr10mC1.a0, nsamfr10mC1.b1 |
Description: | On 19990609 at about 16:10 LST the instrument was flipped upside down so that it was pointed directly at the zenith to assess the calibration stability of the both the MFR10m and the MFRSR. This test revealed agreement between the two instruments that ranged from 0.5 to 2.5%, depending on the wavelength channel under consideration. The average "error" is 1.5%. This is reasonably good agreement between the two instruments, and there is no evidence of gross calibration problems. The test ended on 19990610 at about 11:30 LST, at which time the MFR10m was positioned to point towards the ground. |
