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.

SGP/SIRS/E12 - Ice obscured NIP
DataStreams:sgpsirsE12.00, sgpsirsE12.b1, sgpsirs20sE12.a0
Description:
During the morning hours of 01/06, the direct normal shortwave readings are anomalously 
low in clear sky conditions, causing very large differences (approaching/exceeding 300 
W/m^2) between the downwelling shortwave hemispheric (DSH) readings and the derived 
downwelling shortwave hemispheric readings.  It would appear the NIP window had iced over during 
the previous days storm.  The NIP window appears to have cleared itself by the morning of 
2005/01/08.

SGP/SIRS/E15 - Failed NIP cable
DataStreams:sgpsirsE15.00, sgpsirsE15.b1, sgpsirs20sE15.a0
Description:
After the ice storm, the SHORT_DIRECT_NORMAL values were bad or
              missing continuously. Corrective Maintenance on 01/18 found
              the NIP cable had broken inside the Bendix connector. The NIP 
              cable was repaired and returned to service.

SGP/SIRS/E9 - Unknown -failed PSP ventilator fan
DataStreams:sgpsirsE9.00, sgpsirsE9.b1, sgpsirs20sE9.a0
Description:
Downwelling shortwave hemispheric (DSH) readings appear to have a slight to moderate 
negative offset from derived DSH values.  At night, this negative offset causes qc flags 
(since values are below the minimum threshold of -10 W/m^2).  Differences between derived and 
actual DSH values are sometimes on the order of 50 W/m^2 due to this offset. 
The offset was discovered to be due to a failed ventilator fan which is used to clear the 
dome of the PSP, the instrument which measures the DSH.  The ventilator likely seized or 
was intermittent and heated the PSP base giving an erroneous DSH reading.  Field techs 
replaced the fan on 01/25/2005 1745GMT.  The DSH has been reading normally since that time.

Description:
Occasionally, the downwelling shortwave diffuse hemispheric (DSDH) readings spike to 
unreasonably low levels, causing derived downwelling shortwave hemispheric (DSH) readings to 
spike well below the actual DSH readings.  Technicians repaired the DSDH instument (an

SGP/SIRS/E6 - Questionable data due to Ice Storm damage
DataStreams:sgpsirsE6.00, sgpsirsE6.b1, sgpsirs20sE6.a0
Description:
Several SIRS readings at E6 readings have appeared questionable since the ice storm in 
early January.  Starting on 01/13 maintenance found the E6 tracker inoperative. It was reset 
and put back into serivice.  Shortly after, on 01/16 data from the DSH instrument (PSP) 
became questionable possibly due to obstructed or failed ventilator fan.  On 02/10 1645 
GMT maintenance found the DSH instrument ventilator fan failed - the fan was replaced,  
the E6 tracker was also realigned.  Due to early january ice storms, the tracker alignment 
issues and a failed ventilator fan - All tracker mounted and global DS instrument 
measurements are suspect for this time frame.

SGP/SIRS/C1 - Monthly Summary
DataStreams:sgpsirsC1.b1
Description:
dominant problem here is the daytime 3 component problem. Direct and Diffuse are
always too high and Global is too low. The problem occurs around the time that the
testing regime switches from twilight to daytime testing regimes or from daytime to
twilight. The flags occur in significant numbers on the 1st - 5th, 8th - 20th, 24th - 
28th,
30th, and 31st. The failures vary in magnitude and duration. The worst flags for a 
particular
day is typically high level yellow, with respect to this problem. Global goes below
daytime empirical limits on both the 5th and 6th for substantial periods of time. Diffuse
also goes below daytime empirical limits on the 6th in the evening. Upwelling Longwave is
below empirical limits on the 24th. This may not be a problem, as many sites exhibited
the same problem on the same night. Exceptionally cold temperatures may be the cause.
Direct also exceeds its daytime empirical limit on the 1st, 4th, 10th, 13th, 14th, and 
20th. This occurs
at the changeover from medium to high air mass and does not last for longer than 30 
minutes.

SGP/SIRS/E7 - Downwelling Shortwave incorrect
DataStreams:sgpsirsE7.00, sgpsirsE7.b1
Description:
Downwelling shortwave values dropped off to unrealistic values frequently 
at this site (usually between 1600 GMT and 0000 GMT).  SGP techs found this was due to a 
bad multiplexer and it was replaced 04/05/2005 1950GMT along with the downwelling 
shortwave cable.

SGP/SIRS/E9 - Downwelling Shortwave values low
DataStreams:sgpsirsE9.00, sgpsirsE9.b1, sgpsirs20sE9.a0
Description:
Downwelling Shortwave Hemispheric (DSH) irradiance values from the pyranometer instrument 
were frequently below the MIN value of -10 W/m^2 at night.  DSH values also frequently 
disagreed with derived readings (at times well over 50 W/m^2 difference) during the 
daylight hours, especially in the morning. Field techs performed maintenance but could not find 
obvious instrument or connection problems.  

The low DSH values during nighttime were on the threshold of acceptable. Largest offsets 
acceptable with these pyranometers is typically -10 W/m2.  The large derived vs. actual 
DSH differences during the daylight hours are the subject of ongoing ARM investigation. No 
instrument problems could be identified.

SGP/SIRS/E12 - Reprocess: Incorrect calibrations
DataStreams:sgpsirsE12.00, sgpsirsE12.b1, sgpsirs20sE12.a0
Description:
During site corrective maintenance to resolve an Extended Facility data collection 
problem, the SIRS.E12 datalogger was power cycled (1725 GMT).  The datalogger reverted to an old 
SIRS program with incorrect S/Ns and calibration coefficients for all instruments at 
this station.

The SW data can be recalibrated as follows:
First divide value by incorrectly applied cal coeff (first number) then multiply by 
correct cal coeff (second number)

SGP/SIRS/E13 - Reprocess: incorrect calibrations
DataStreams:sgpsirsE13.00, sgpsirsE13.b1, sgpsirs20sE13.a0
Description:
After a long data gap on 5/25/2005, presumably a power outage, the following datastreams 
were showing incorrect values as well as incorrect calibration coefficients in the 
datalogger program:
down_long_hemisp_shaded (downwelling PIR instrument)
up_long_hemisp (upwelling PIR instrument)
short_direct_normal (NIP instrument)

The SIRS.E13 datalogger was power cycled (6/2/2005 2200GMT) and the correct program loaded 
into the SIRS datalogger and storage module.

The data during this time range can be recalibrated as follows:
First divide value by incorrectly applied cal coeff (first number) then multiply by 
correct cal coeff (second number)
  short_direct_normal           120.28	124.58

SGP/SIRS/E16 - NIP Instrument Failure
DataStreams:sgpsirsE16.b1, sgpsirs20sE16.a0
Description:
The short_direct_normal dropped below MIN value on 4/28/06 resulting in failure of the 
up_long_hemisp started 3-component test.  No data are available from 20060428.1900 through 
20060503.21:39.  When the data returned, the short_direct normal fluctuated wildly 
throughout the day, and down_long_hemisp & up_long_hemisp failed the 3-component test.  
Technicians determined the NIP had failed and replaced it 5/12.

Use component method ((global - diffuse)/cos(ZA)) to calculate direct normal. For more 
information on this summation method please see section 7.2 (Theory of Operation) of the

SGP/SIRS/E2 - Reprocessed: Longwave Calibration error
DataStreams:sgpsirsE2.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.

SGP/SIRS/C1 - Reprocessed: Longwave Calibration error
DataStreams:sgpsirsC1.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 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 October 2006.

SGP/SIRS/E3 - Reprocess: Wrong Calibration Coefficients
DataStreams:sgpsirsE3.b1, sgpsirs20sE3.a0
Description:
No data were collected from 6/7/2006 0000 to 6/14/2006 1612 due to hardware problems.  
When data resumed on 6/14, ALL calibration coefficients and serial numbers were for 
different instruments possibly due to incorrect program loaded on storage module.  Correct 
program reloaded by PM/CM techs on 7/12 1830GMT

Shortwave data can be corrected with a simple multiplier as shown below.  Longwave data 
must be reprocessed from temperature and netIR data.

The data can be recalibrated as follows:
First divide value by incorrectly applied cal coeff (first number) then multiply by 
correct cal coeff (second number). 
  down_short_diffuse_hemisp	109.52	110.31
  up_short_hemisp		111.61	109.80
  short_direct_normal		115.73	118.82

  up_long_netir 		0.26525 0.2564
  down_long_netir		0.27173	0.2695

Reapply cal coeffs below using up_long_netIR(uV), inst_up_long_dome_temp(K),  
inst_up_long_dome_temp(K) using procedure described in SIRS instrument manual.

Description:
Starting 11/13/2006, the C1 SIRS Upwelling Shortwave (up_short_hemisp) started to show 
large differences in comparison to co-located E13 SIRS and C1 IRT25m.  After much 
troubleshooting and gnashing of teeth it was discovered that rodents had chewed through the 
instrument cables at the bottom of the tilt tower. Cables were replaced 01/23/2007 1930GMT.

Description:
Beginning around 10/31, the E7 UIR experienced an increasingly noisy signal.  The 
thermopile signal was noisy, but case and dome thermistors are well behaved.  Maintenance 
reseated the UIR cable connections on 12/12/2006 which effectively eliminated the UIR noise.
