SGP/SASHE/C1 - Temperature controller disabled
DataStreams:sgpsashenirC1.b1
Description:
After servicing of the SASHe on Dec 20, 2013 a temperature controller was left in a 
stand-by mode.  The situation was corrected slightly before 20:00 UT on Jan 14, 2014.  Both the 
"vis" and "nir" spectrometers have some potential for temperature sensitivity but the 
impact should not be severe given that the system is housed within a climate controlled 
building and the temperature gradients are small.
Measurements:sgpsashenirC1.b1:
  • Direct horizontal solar irradiance from InGaAs linear array spectrometer(direct_horizontal_spectrometer_nir)
  • Total hemispheric irradiance component, InGaAs linear array spectrometer(total_hemisp_spectrometer_nir)
  • Diffuse hemispheric irradiance component, InGaAs linear array spectrometer(diffuse_hemisp_spectrometer_nir)
  • responsivity_spectrometer_nir
  • Direct normal solar irradiance, InGaAs linear array spectrometer(direct_normal_spectrometer_nir)

SGP/SASHE/C1 - Instrument problem
DataStreams:sgpsashenirC1.b1
Description:
The SASHe azimuth stage began to exhibit wear and lose the ability to consistently track 
the sun, ultimately leading to incorrect identification of the direct and diffuse 
irradiance components - especially in the hours around solar noon.  Total hemispheric irradiances 
are of acceptable quality.
Measurements:sgpsashenirC1.b1:
  • Direct horizontal solar irradiance from InGaAs linear array spectrometer(direct_horizontal_spectrometer_nir)
  • Diffuse hemispheric irradiance component, InGaAs linear array spectrometer(diffuse_hemisp_spectrometer_nir)
  • Direct normal solar irradiance, InGaAs linear array spectrometer(direct_normal_spectrometer_nir)

acceptable.

MAO/PGH/PVC/SGP/SASHE/C1 - Reprocess: Stray light contamination at extreme wavelengths
DataStreams:sgpsashenirC1.b1
Description:
The irradiance measurements at near the limits of the spectrometer wavelength ranges are 
subject to contamination from stray light within the spectrometer itself. This affects not 
only the basic measurement, but also can affect the calibration such that reported 
values may be either higher or lower than actual. Typically, this yields a high bias for 
measurements at the low wavelength limit and a low bias at the high wavelength limit. This 
causes opposite effects for AOD with a low bias at low wavelength and a high bias for high 
wavelengths.
Measurements:sgpsashenirC1.b1:
  • Direct horizontal solar irradiance from InGaAs linear array spectrometer(direct_horizontal_spectrometer_nir)
  • Total hemispheric irradiance component, InGaAs linear array spectrometer(total_hemisp_spectrometer_nir)
  • Diffuse hemispheric irradiance component, InGaAs linear array spectrometer(diffuse_hemisp_spectrometer_nir)
  • Direct normal solar irradiance, InGaAs linear array spectrometer(direct_normal_spectrometer_nir)

SGP Site Power Outage Due to Winter Storm
DataStreams:sgpsashenirC1.b1
Description:
On Saturday and Sunday, December 26 and 27th a powerful winter storm (Goliath) brought 
sleet and freezing rain to much of Oklahoma with wind gusts of 45 MPH at times. The result 
was very very slick roads and mass power outages.
 
The SGP central facility lost power at 8:55 PM CDT on Sunday, December 27th.  
The power was restored on 7:56 PM CDT on Wednesday, December 30th
 
Site Emergency procedures were activated and Technicians drained water out of instrument 
reservoirs and other measures as needed, early Monday morning.
 
On Wednesdays as roads and power started was restored to much of the areas east of I-35 , 
Site Technicians performed maintenance on several Extended Facilities.

During this period, data are potentially missing, incorrect, or suspect.  Carefully 
inspect the data before use.

SGP/SASHE/C1 - Poor alignment, banding issues
DataStreams:sgpsashenirC1.b1
Description:
Banding issues leading to imperfect shading dominate the data for this period.  At times 
the banding issues were quite subtle leading to problems only for limited periods of the 
day especially when the sun is low and this leads to serious calibration errors.

  • Diffuse hemispheric irradiance component, InGaAs linear array spectrometer(diffuse_hemisp_nir)
  • Direct horizontal solar irradiance from InGaAs linear array spectrometer(direct_horizontal_nir)
