SGP/SIRS/E11 - failed ventilator fan
DataStreams:sgpsirs20sE11.a0, sgpsirsE11.00, sgpsirsE11.b1
Description:
E11 downwelling hemispheric shortwave instrument (Eppley PSP) has shown larger and larger 
nighttime offsets (from -5 to -10 W/m2) since October. A failed ventilator fan was 
discovered during PM and replaced on 4/4/2006.
Measurements:sgpsirsE11.b1:
  • Downwelling Shortwave Hemispheric Irradiance, Ventilated Pyranometer, Minima(down_short_hemisp_min)
  • Downwelling Shortwave Hemispheric Irradiance, Ventilated Pyranometer, Maxima(down_short_hemisp_max)
  • Down-welling unshaded pyranometer voltage(down_short_hemisp)
  • Downwelling Shortwave Hemispheric Irradiance, Ventilated Pyranometer, Standard
    Deviation(down_short_hemisp_std)
sgpsirsE11.00:
  • null(Raw data stream - documentation not supported)
sgpsirs20sE11.a0:

Subject:
SGP/SIRS/E11 - Reprocessed: Longwave Calibration error
DataStreams:sgpsirsE11.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 instantaneous data records. 
Still, these data are considered far superior to the originally processed data. The 
reprocessed data were archived in August 2006.
Measurements:sgpsirsE11.b1:
  • Upwelling Longwave Hemispheric Net Infrared(up_long_netir)
  • Downwelling Longwave Hemispheric Net Infrared(down_long_netir)
  • Upwelling (10 meter) Longwave Hemispheric Irradiance, Pyrgeometer(up_long_hemisp)
  • Downwelling Longwave Hemispheric Irradiance, Shaded Pyrgeometer(down_long_hemisp_shaded)

SGP/SIRS/E13 - Reprocessed: Longwave Calibration error
DataStreams:sgpsirsE13.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.

SGP/SIRS/E11 - Failed ventilator fans
DataStreams:sgpsirs20sE11.a0, sgpsirsE11.b1
Description:
Ventilator fans for both the downwelling shortwave hemispheric and downwelling diffuse 
hemispheric instruments failed during this time period.  The thermal effects of daytime 
heating will skew the radiometric measurements of these thermopile instruments.

  • Downwelling Shortwave Diffuse Hemispheric Irradiance, Ventilated Pyranometer,
