SGP/SIRS/E21 - False signal
DataStreams:sgpsirs20sE21.a0, sgpsirsE21.00, sgpsirsE21.b1
Description:
During clear-sky conditions, downwelling shortwave values spike downward approximately 50 
to 200 W/m^2 around 22:15 UTC for about 15 minutes. This problem occurs at about the same 
time for the same duration each day during the indicated period of the year.  This 
effect is due to a shadow from the Rotating Bird Deterrent (RBD) installed earlier in the year 
to prevent extensive bird droppings at the site.  The RBD is installed at such a 
location that it will partially shade the downwelling shortwave PSP from 19 October to 23 
February of the year.

SGP/SIRS/E9 - Reprocessed: Longwave Calibration error
DataStreams:sgpsirsE9.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 instanteous data records. 
Still, these data are considered far superior to the originally processed data. The 
reprocessed data were archived in October 2006.
