Subject:	SGP/SIRS/E27 - Tracker Misalignment
DataStreams:	sgpsirs20sE27.a0, sgpsirsE27.00, sgpsirsE27.b1
Description:	Suntracker failed at this facility. The suntracker was reset on 9/17, but this only temporarily fixed the problem and the tracker began failing again 9/18. Tracker was reset and realigned on 10/15/03 17:30GMT and has been operating properly since.

Subject:	SGP/SIRS/E2 - Ventilator Fan Failure
DataStreams:	sgpsirs20sE2.a0, sgpsirsE2.00, sgpsirsE2.b1
Description:	Measured downwelling shortwave data was very questionable, reporting nighttime values as low as -50 W/m^2, while differing from calculated downwelling shortwave by as much as 50 W/m^2 lower during the day. The first indication of a problem was around 10 UTC, 9/14, when measured DS values suddenly dropped below 10 W/m^2 for about a 2 hour period before sunrise, then were consistently lower than calculated DS by as much as 40 W/m^2 during the day. The problem got progressively worse with time until the ventilator fan was replace on 9/25. Ventilator fan failure changed the fundamental operating characteristics of this PSP and resulted in unpredictable biased measurements which cannot be corrected without additional empirical characterization of the radiometer in question.

Subject:	SGP/SIRS/E24 - NIP shaded near sunrise
DataStreams:	sgpsirs20sE24.a0, sgpsirsE24.b1
Description:	The NIP is shaded by the EF laptop computer enclosure near sunrise during parts of the Spring and Summer. This has occurred from 04/08 to 05/20 and from 07/26 to 09/06 every year since 2001 and will occur during these date ranges in the future as well. The shading occurs for a few minutes each day between 1200 and 1300 GMT depending on the time of the year. For the early dates, shading occurs a little after 1200 GMT and by 05/20 shading happens nearer to 1300 GMT. In late July the shading occurs near 1300 GMT and closer to 1200 GMT by 09/06.

Subject:	SGP/SIRS/E12 - Reprocessed: Longwave Calibration error
DataStreams:	sgpsirsE12.b1
Description:	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 October 2006.
