Description: | Incorrect calibration coefficients were entered for three instruments (PSPG, PIRD and
PIRG) at the RESET period.
The following calculation method should be applied to correct the data,
For the downwelling shortwave(PSPG) (DS)
Old Calibration coefficient [W/m2\mV] =119.68
New Calibration Coefficient [W/m2\mV] =125.94
DS(new_value)[W/m2]=( DS(old_value)[W/m2]/ 119.68 [W/m2\mV] )* 125.94 [W/m2/mV]
For the longwave irradiance (PIRG):
If the .a0 and .b1 data set available the following procedure should be applied for the
downwelling LW
1) Obtain the following variables from the 20s datastream for each one minute of the
affected time range:
inst_down_long_hemisp1_dome_resist (Rd)
inst_down_long_ hemisp1_case_resist (Rc)
inst_down_long_ hemisp1_tp (tpDIR_mV)
2) Using the 20s tp voltage in mV convert to uV.
tpDIR[uV] = inst_down_long_hemisp1_tp [mV]*1000[uV/mV]
3) For each 20s data entry, convert Rd and Rc to temperature
Td =1/ (a0 + (a1*LN (Rd*1000) + (a2*LN (Rd*1000)^3)))
Tc = 1/ (a0 + (a1*LN (Rc*1000) + (a2*LN (Rc*1000)^3)))
Where a0 = 0.0010295
a1 = 0.0002391
a2 = 0.0000001568
4) Apply for each 20s data entry: (correct k1=0.2755)
WinDIR(W/m^2)= [0.2755*tpDIR] + Sigma*Tc^4 -4*Sigma*(Td^4 - Tc^4)
Where,
WinDIR = Corrected down_long_hemisp1 (W/m^2)
Sigma = 5.6704E-8 (Stefan-Boltzman Constant)
5) Generate new 1 minute average from the three 20-second measurements
