SGP/SIRS/E27 - incorrect tracking
DataStreams:sgpsirs20sE27.a0, sgpsirsE27.00, sgpsirsE27.b1
Description:
The solar tracker at E27 was not functioning properly.  The problem affected tracker 
mounted instruments: downwelling diffuse 8-48 and direct normal pyrheliometer NIP.  

After tracker adjustment on 4/14/2004 1700GMT the tracker stopped tracking properly during 
afternoon hours.  Attempts to correct tracker operation throughout the failure period 
resulted in variations on incorrect tracker operation.  No replacement tracker was available.

After adjustment on 9/15/2004 the tracker problem was resolved.  It is unclear what, other 
than typical az and zen tracker software changes by field techs, corrected the problem.  
This problem period corresponds to the first time range specified (4/14 to 9/15). 

On 10/27/2004 a replacement tracker was installed at E27.  Technical difficulties kept 
tracker out of service until 11/05/2004. The replacement tracker at E27 was put into serice 
by the field techs on 11/05/2004 1830GMT.  The tracker has been tracking correctly since 
this time.  This problem period corresponds to the second time range (10/27 to 11/05).

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.

sgpsirsE13.b1
Description:
After the DIR changeout on 8/27, the DLH measurements at the central facility vary 
significantly between pyrgeometers by as much as 65 Wm^(-2).  It was discovered that the two 
downwelling pyrgeometers destined for C1 and E13 may have been swapped during installation.  
The instrument mentor is unsure of applied calibration coefficients during this DQR's 
time period.  Backing out new downwelling longwave irradiances would be difficult in this 
case. Fortunately, the problem period is less than a fortnight.

SGP/SIRS/E10 - tracker failure
DataStreams:sgpsirs20sE10.a0, sgpsirsE10.00, sgpsirsE10.b1
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/E9 - Unknown -failed PSP ventilator fan
DataStreams:sgpsirs20sE9.a0, sgpsirsE9.00, sgpsirsE9.b1
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

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.

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.
Measurements:sgpsirsE2.b1:
  • Upwelling (10 meter) Longwave Hemispheric Irradiance, Pyrgeometer(up_long_hemisp)
  • Upwelling Longwave Hemispheric Net Infrared(up_long_netir)
  • Downwelling Longwave Hemispheric Net Infrared(down_long_netir)

Subject:
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.
