TWP/SKYRAD/C2 - Reprocess: PIR identified as unshaded is really shaded
DataStreams:twpskyrad60sC2.b1
Description:
On 17Sep01 the Global PIR was moved from the unshaded position on the Skyrad stand to the 
new 'shaded' spot on the new K&Z tracker. It is still using the same Logger channel as it 
did as an unshaded PIR even though it is now shaded.

TWP/SKYRAD/C2 - IRT bias
DataStreams:twpskyrad60sC2.b1
Description:
The IRT appears to be measuring higher sky temperatures than the AERI. There is no 
indication as to its cause or whether the IRT or the AERI is at fault.

PRB note: because the AERI is calibrated between each sample, the AERI
data has a high degree of confidence and the bias is likely on the part
of the IRT.

TWP/GNDRAD/C2 - Reprocess: Longwave Calibration error
DataStreams:twpgndrad60sC2.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 are 
being reprocessing to remove the calibration bias.  Note, this also affected standard 
deviation, maximum and minimum data fields.

TWP/SKYRAD/C2 - IRT signal
DataStreams:twpskyrad60sC2.b1
Description:
The IRT exhibited a bias of the analog voltage output that caused problems with the 
signals from the other SKYRAD radiometers. The bias was due to corrosion between the power and 
signal connections in the IRT cable. The IRT was disconnected on 10/18/2006 at 01:20 and 
replaced on 11/6/2006 at 23:00 but it too appeared to have grounding problems due to 
internal corrosion and was disconnected on 11/11/2006 at 11:42 and then intermittently 
reconnected for testing. A second spare was installed on 12/4/2006 which did not cause problems 
with the signals from the other instruments.

failure.  The cable was replaced.

Description:
The IRT was not properly calibrated and was not able to measure sky temperatures below 
273.2 K. (This instrument was the same one damaged by lightning in November 2005 in Darwin. 
It was returned for repair and received a new lens but was calibrated only down to 0 deg 
C, so the problem was neither detected nor repaired.) The IRT was replaced on 2/22/2007.

TWP/GNDRAD/C2 - Reprocess: IRT calibration
DataStreams:twpgndrad60sC2.b1
Description:
The configuration of the IRT was set to that used at TWP/C3. This caused the calibration 
of the data to be wrong. It was corrected by reconfiguring the IRT to match the datalogger 
program.
   
These data can be reprocessed and corrected by adding 10K, i.e. sfc_ir_temp(new) = 
sfc_ir_temp(old) + 10K.

TWP/GNDRAD/C1 - Incorrect dome calibration factor
DataStreams:twpgndrad20sC1.a1, twpgndrad60sC1.a1, twpgndrad60sC1.b1
Description:
The Manus GNDRAD PIR had an incorrect dome factor since installation.  The following is an 
estimate by Chris Cornwall of the magnitude of the effect of this calibration error. The 
magnitude of this error is smaller than the calibration accuracy.

"Processed the instantaneous data from ARCS2 (10, 30 and 50 seconds after the minute) 
using 4.32 as the dome factor, and also using 4.00 as the dome factor, as it should have 
been. The difference between the calculated irradiance results was negligible, as was 
expected with an instrument operating in the downward-facing direction.

Over the three days from 11/06/98 to 11/08/98, the error between the two signals averaged 
0.09%.  Overnight values were much lower than this, daytime values peaked at 0.42%. The 
statistics for these error signals were as follows:
  average error 0.000895
  standard dev  0.001119
  max error     0.004242
  min error    -0.00064

We should change ARCS1 so it is using the correct value for the groundrad pir dome 
coefficient (4.0 instead of 4.32), and we may want to include a DQR stating these findings, 
although they are much smaller than the overall uncertainty of the PIR itself."
