Subject:	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).

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/C1/E13 - Incorrect calibration coefficients
DataStreams:	sgpsirs20sC1.a0, sgpsirs20sE13.a0, sgpsirsC1.00, sgpsirsC1.b1, sgpsirsE13.00, 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.

Subject:	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.

Subject:	SGP/SIRS/E16 - Reprocessed: Longwave Calibration error
DataStreams:	sgpsirsE16.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.
