SGP/SIRS/E22 - Failed NIP sensor cable

The suntracker was driven past it optical limit switch and pulled the direct normal (NIP) 
instrument cable from its connector.

SGP/SIRS/E22 - Intermittent upwelling longwave data loss

Upwelling longwave hemispheric data drops out occasionally during the afternoon hours.  
Maintenance determined that the Upwelling LW Hemispheric irradiance instrument, the PIR, 
had a failed cable affecting only the thermopile measurement of this instrument.  Cable was 
replaced 7/20/05 2000GMT.

SGP/SIRS/E22 - Reprocessed: Longwave Calibration error

Modified pyrgeometer calibration procedures were implemented beginning in July 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 have been reprocessed to 
remove the calibration bias.  The reprocessed 60 second averaged data are based on 3 
instantaneous 20 second data records rather than on 60 1 second instantaneous data records. 
Still, these data are considered far superior to the originally processed data. The 
reprocessed data were archived in August 2006.
