What location was the data collected at: E1
Period of time in question
Begin Date about 96/04/06
End Date ongoing problem
Data should be labeled:
___ questionable ___ All data fields affected
_x_ incorrect _x_ Only some data fields affected
___ wrong calibration
___ others
Discussion of Problem: The MFRSR at site E1 has been grossly out of alignment
from about 96/04/06 to the present time. This is an ongoing problem. The poor
alignment manifests itself in a sawtooth pattern in the direct beam and diffuse
components of the MFRSR data. During the time this pattern exists, the data
are almost useless.
Other observations/measurements impacted by this problem:
Suggested Corrections of the Problem: (e.g. change calibration factor and
recompute, flag data with this comment, etc.): align instument at
earliest possible time (Logistically, this is harder than it seems at
first glance). |
