Subject: | NSA/SKYRAD/C2 - Summer solstice shading of radiometers |
DataStreams: | nsaskyrad60sC2.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): Instr Obstruction AzStart AzEnd NIP rad table 356 17 PSP mfrsr 341 353 Note: There are a number of objects near the NW,N and NE horizon that may affect sunrise data near the summer soltice. |
Suggestions: | Avoid NIP and PSP data during the periods noted above. |
