Subject:
SGP/SIRS/E10 - Reprocess: Incorrect shortwave radiometer calibration coefficients
DataStreams:sgpsirsE10.00, sgpsirsE10.b1
Description:
During the pyrgeometer instrument (PIR) changeout a datalogger program was loaded with 
incorrect calibration coefficients for the shortwave instruments.  The affected measurements 
(instruments) were: downwelling diffuse (8-48), upwelling shortwave (PSP), direct normal 
(NIP) and downwelling shortwave (PSP)

Recalculate irradiances by determining original mV signal and reapplying the correct 
calibration coefficients.  For SGP/SIRS/E10 and each one minute irradiance value perform the 
following calculations by instrument:
DD(corrected) = (DD/107.24)*114.63
US(corrected) = (US/113.19)*117.46
NIP(corrected)= (NIP/120.17)*119.26
DS(corrected) = (DS/118.46)*122.78

SGP/SIRS/E10 - tracker failure
DataStreams:sgpsirsE10.00, sgpsirsE10.b1, sgpsirs20sE10.a0
Description:
During the night of 11/05-06 2004 the tracker failed at this location. During CM on 12/01, 
power cycling returned the tracker to service. However, tracker was not properly 
tracking in the AM. Tracker failed again sometime near 01/01/2005.  CM on reloaded the tracker 
program and realigned the tracker on 01/26/2005 1600GMT.  It has been working correctly 
since this time.

Subject:
SGP/SIRS/E10 - Reprocess: Longwave Calibration error
DataStreams:sgpsirsE10.b1
Description:
Modified pyrgeometer calibration procedures were implemented beginning in December 2003.  
These modified procedures introduced a calibration bias in the longwave data.  The 
previous procedures were re-implemented at all sites between December 2005 and February 2006 to 
restore proper calibrations.                                                             
                The data collected while the incorrect procedures were in place are 
being reprocessing to remove the calibration bias.  Note, this also affected standard 
deviation, maximum and minimum data fields.
Measurements:sgpsirsE10.b1:
  • Upwelling Longwave Hemispheric Net Infrared(up_long_netir)
  • Upwelling (10 meter) Longwave Hemispheric Irradiance, Ventilated Pyrgeometer(up_long_hemisp)
  • Downwelling Longwave Hemispheric Irradiance, Shaded Pyrgeometer(down_long_hemisp_shaded)
  • Downwelling Longwave Hemispheric Net Infrared(down_long_netir)
