SGP/SIRS/E2 - Tracker mis-alignment
DataStreams:sgpsirs20sE2.a0, sgpsirsE2.00, sgpsirsE2.b1
Description:
The solar tracker was not working correctly at this site from 2/3/2005 to 2/5/2005 
2359GMT.  After this time tracker mounted instruments appear to have been responding correctly.  
There was no maintenance intervention that rectified the tracking problem. This has 
happened in the past with the SGP SciTec trackers.

  • Downwelling Shortwave Diffuse Hemispheric Irradiance, Ventilated Pyranometer,
    Maxima(down_short_diffuse_hemisp_max)

SGP/SIRS/E2 - Reprocessed: Incorrect DIR calibration coefficients
DataStreams:sgpsirs20sE2.a0, sgpsirsE2.00, sgpsirsE2.b1
Description:
During the DIR/UIR instrument changeout on 2/10/2005 the new datalogger program contained 
incorrect calibration coefficients for the DIR instrument. The program was corrected on 
3/10/2005.

These data were reprocessed and archived in September 2006.
Measurements:sgpsirsE2.b1:
  • Downwelling Longwave Hemispheric Irradiance, Shaded Pyrgeometer, Standard
    Deviation(down_long_hemisp_shaded_std)

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.
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)
  • Downwelling Longwave Hemispheric Irradiance, Shaded Pyrgeometer(down_long_hemisp_shaded)
