Subject:
FKB/SKYRAD/M1 - IRT bias
DataStreams:fkbskyrad60sM1.b1
Description:
On several days (especially in April, September, and December), the sky temperature 
measurement from the IRT exhibited a positive bias from the AERI measurement from about 20:00 
to 07:00. This diurnal variation is highly correlated with the measurement of relative 
humidity so was most-likely due to the contribution of the temperature of water vapor, fog, 
and/or condensation on the lens and/or mirror.
Measurements:fkbskyrad60sM1.b1:
  • Sky Infra Red Temperature Minima(sky_ir_temp_min)
  • Sky Infra Red Temperature Maxima(sky_ir_temp_max)
  • Sky Infra-Red Temperature(sky_ir_temp)

Subject:
FKB/GNDRAD/M1 - Reprocessed: Incorrect calibrations
DataStreams:fkbgndrad20sM1.a0, fkbgndrad60sM1.b1
Description:
An incorrect calibration coefficient was applied to the up_short_hemispheric instrument 
(PSP) for the specified time period.  Changes in the ARM PSP calibration procedure now 
generates two different calibration coefficients for the same instrument, Cf(non "IR 
corrected")and Cfc("IR corrected").  CFc should have been applied to this instrument but CF was 
erroneously used.

The affected PSP is S/N 34292F3 Cf=117.61 (incorrect applied), Cfc(correct)=116.07W/m2/mV

These data were reprocessed and archived in March 2008.
