Subject:	SGP/SIRS/E1/E2/E3/E5/E8 - Snow on Radiometers
DataStreams:	sgpsirsE1.00, sgpsirsE1.b1, sgpsirsE2.00, sgpsirsE2.b1, sgpsirsE3.00, sgpsirsE3.b1, sgpsirsE5.00, sgpsirsE5.b1, sgpsirsE8.00, sgpsirsE8.b1, sgpsirs20sE1.a0, sgpsirs20sE2.a0, sgpsirs20sE3.a0, sgpsirs20sE5.a0, sgpsirs20sE8.a0
Description:	A large discrepancy between the measured values of downwelling hemispheric shortwave radiation and the derived values occurred on 2/02 at the listed sites. The difference is on the order of 200 Wm^(-2) at E2 and to a lesser extent at the other affected stations. This problem most likely resulted from a previous day or night snow/ice accumulation on the Direct(NIP), Downwelling Sortwave(PSP) and/or Downwelling Diffuse(8-48) instruments. During the morning hours of 02/02, Approx 1300-2000GMT, snow/ice was covering one or more of these three instruments resulting in faulty readings and incorrect derived downwelling shortwave values as well. Instrument readings indicate the problem resolved itself later in the day through normal meltoff.

Subject:	SGP/SIRS/E8 - Possible Contamination of DS PSP instrument
DataStreams:	sgpsirsE8.00, sgpsirsE8.b1, sgpsirs20sE8.a0
Description:	Downwelling hemispheric shortwave values drop at about 1500 GMT under clear sky conditions, typically from about 14:00GMT to 16:00GMT. This may be due to a dirty PSP but maintenance on 03/23/04 18:11 GMT revealed no more than typical light dust. The problem was essentially undetectable by 03/31/04 12:00. The time of day that the problem exists appears to be an exagerated PSP cosine response. No obvious reason presents why the problem appeared and then disappeared within this two week period.

Subject:	SGP/SIRS/E8 - Reprocess: Incorrect shortwave radiometer calibration coefficients
DataStreams:	sgpsirsE8.00, sgpsirsE8.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 each one minute irradiance value perform the following calculations by instrument: DD(corrected) = (DD/107.24)116.37 US(corrected) = (US/113.19)121.78 NIP(corrected)= (NIP/120.17)122.47 DS(corrected) = (DS/118.46)122.34

Subject:	SGP/SIRS/E8 - Reprocessed: Longwave Calibration error
DataStreams:	sgpsirsE8.b1
Description:	Modified pyrgeometer calibration procedures were implemented beginning in February 2004. 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 instanteous data records. Still, these data are considered far superior to the originally processed data. The reprocessed data were archived in September 2006.
