SGP/SIRS/E2 - Reprocess: Incorrect shortwave radiometer calibration coefficients

During the pyrgeometer instrument (PIR) changout a datalogger program was loaded with 
incorrect calibration coefficients for the shortwave instruments.  The affected measurements 
were : downwelling diffuse (DD), upwelling shortwave(US), direct normal (NIP) and 
downwelling shortwave(DS)

Recalculate irradiances by determining original mV signal and reapplying the correct 
calibration coefficients.  For each one minute irradiance value perform the following 
calculations by instrument:
DD(corrected) = (DD/107.24)*118.11
US(corrected) = (US/113.19)*118.21
NIP(corrected)= (NIP/120.17)*119.08
DS(corrected) = (DS/118.46)*117.33

SGP/SIRS/E2 - Tracker mis-alignment

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.

SGP/SIRS/E2 - Reprocessed: Incorrect DIR calibration coefficients

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.

SGP/SIRS/E2 - Reprocessed: Longwave Calibration error

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.

SGP/SIRS/E19 - Reprocess: Incorrect calibration coefficients

Sometime on 10/13 the SIRS datalogger reverted to the old program used for the previous 
set of coefficients (i.e. before the scheduled 9/13 shortwave instrument swapout).  
Coefficients were such that the program change didn't result in easily discernable changes in 
the data. The longwave instruments were not affected.
The Coefficients applied during this time were as follows (marked "Incorrect"):
Incorrect    "Diffuse PSP: 106.83 W/(m^2*mV)\n",
Correct      "Diffuse PSP: 113.35 W/(m^2*mV)\n",
Incorrect    "PSP-US:      119.40 W/(m^2*mV)\n",
Correct      "PSP-US:      117.97 W/(m^2*mV)\n",
Incorrect    "NIP:         120.41 W/(m^2*mV)\n",
Correct      "NIP:         121.72 W/(m^2*mV)\n",
Incorrect    "PSP-DS:      120.26 W/(m^2*mV)\n",
Correct      "PSP-DS:      122.52 W/(m^2*mV)\n",

Shortwave data can be corrected by dividing by "Incorrect" coefficient and multiplying 
"Correct" coefficient.  (e.g. down_short_diffuse_hemisp(cor) = 
down_short_diffuse_hemisp*(113.35/106.83))
