SGP/SIRS/E13 - Reprocess: incorrect calibrations
DataStreams:sgpsirs20sE13.a0, sgpsirsE13.00, sgpsirsE13.b1
Description:
After a long data gap on 5/25/2005, presumably a power outage, the following datastreams 
were showing incorrect values as well as incorrect calibration coefficients in the 
datalogger program:
down_long_hemisp_shaded (downwelling PIR instrument)
up_long_hemisp (upwelling PIR instrument)
short_direct_normal (NIP instrument)

The SIRS.E13 datalogger was power cycled (6/2/2005 2200GMT) and the correct program loaded 
into the SIRS datalogger and storage module.

The data during this time range can be recalibrated as follows:
First divide value by incorrectly applied cal coeff (first number) then multiply by 
correct cal coeff (second number)
  short_direct_normal           120.28	124.58
  up_long_netir                 0.2386	0.2595
  down_long_netir               0.3052	0.2304

Reapply cal coeffs below using up_long_netIR(uV), inst_up_long_dome_temp(K),   
inst_up_long_dome_temp(K) using procedure described in SIRS instrument manual.

Subject:
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. 
Still, these data are considered far superior to the originally processed data. The 
reprocessed data were archived in October 2006.
