SGP/SIRS/E21 - Dirt on dome
DataStreams:sgpsirs20sE21.a0, sgpsirsE21.00, sgpsirsE21.b1
Description:
Measured downwelling shortwave values differed from calculated 
              (direct + diffuse) by +/-100 W/m^2 in the afternoon.  Pattern of
              differences is indicative of a dirty downwelling shortwave dome.
              Maintenance on 6/9 cleaned water spots on the dome.  Other 
              downwelling instruments may have also been dirty during this 
              period.

Subject:
SGP/SIRS/E21 - Reprocessed: Longwave Calibration error
DataStreams:sgpsirsE21.b1
Description:
Modified pyrgeometer calibration procedures were implemented beginning in July 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 November 2006.
Measurements:sgpsirsE21.b1:
  • 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)
  • Upwelling Longwave Hemispheric Net Infrared(up_long_netir)
