SGP/SIRS/E10 - Diffuse Pyranometer Thermal Offsets
DataStreams:sgpsirsE10.a0, sgpsirsE10.a1
Description:
Broadband downwelling shortwave diffuse (sky) irradiance measurements available from SIRS
during the period of this Data Quality Report (DQR), require adjustment for thermal
offsets.  These thermal, or ?zero? offsets refer to the generally reduced output signals
from a shaded pyranometer due to the exchange of longwave (infrared) irradiance between
the single black thermopile detector, the protective glass domes surrounding the
detector, and the atmosphere. Originally considered an acceptable nighttime response of
thermopile-type pyranometers, the generally negative bias is now recognized to
significantly effect the accuracy of SIRS diffuse irradiance data during daylight
periods.

Studies of the Eppley Laboratory, Inc. Model PSP (Precision Spectral Pyranometer), used
for the SIRS   measurements of diffuse irradiance, suggest the thermal offset correction
can range from near 0 to as much as 30 Watts per square meter, depending on the
coincident net longwave, or infrared irradiance [1, 2].  Under very clear-sky conditions,
the diffuse irradiance from a shaded PSP can be less than the minimum physical limit
defined by radiative transfer model estimates based only on Rayleigh scattering effects.

A correction method has been developed for adjusting SIRS diffuse irradiance data [3]. 
The resulting Value Added Product (VAP) will be applied to SIRS data for the period of
this DQR.  The VAP will not be applied to SIROS data collected before the instrument
platform was converted to SIRS.

Additionally, the Model PSP radiometer has been replaced by a Model 8-48 which uses a
black and white thermopile detector known to reduce the thermal offset errors to less
than 2 Watts per square meter [3].  The radiometer replacement at this SIRS location was
completed on the ending date of this DQR.

SGP/SIRS/E18 - Diffuse Pyranometer Thermal Offsets
DataStreams:sgpsirsE18.a0, sgpsirsE18.a1
Description:
Broadband downwelling shortwave diffuse (sky) irradiance measurements available from SIRS
during the period of this Data Quality Report (DQR), require adjustment for thermal
offsets.  These thermal, or ?zero? offsets refer to the generally reduced output signals
from a shaded pyranometer due to the exchange of longwave (infrared) irradiance between
the single black thermopile detector, the protective glass domes surrounding the
detector, and the atmosphere. Originally considered an acceptable nighttime response of
thermopile-type pyranometers, the generally negative bias is now recognized to
significantly effect the accuracy of SIRS diffuse irradiance data during daylight
periods.

Studies of the Eppley Laboratory, Inc. Model PSP (Precision Spectral Pyranometer), used
for the SIRS   measurements of diffuse irradiance, suggest the thermal offset correction
can range from near 0 to as much as 30 Watts per square meter, depending on the
coincident net longwave, or infrared irradiance [1, 2].  Under very clear-sky conditions,
the diffuse irradiance from a shaded PSP can be less than the minimum physical limit
defined by radiative transfer model estimates based only on Rayleigh scattering effects.

A correction method has been developed for adjusting SIRS diffuse irradiance data [3]. 
The resulting Value Added Product (VAP) will be applied to SIRS data for the period of
this DQR.  The VAP will not be applied to SIROS data collected before the instrument
platform was converted to SIRS.

Additionally, the Model PSP radiometer has been replaced by a Model 8-48 which uses a
black and white thermopile detector known to reduce the thermal offset errors to less
than 2 Watts per square meter [3].  The radiometer replacement at this SIRS location was
completed on the ending date of this DQR.

SGP/SIRS/E18 - Instrument noise problem
DataStreams:sgpsirs20sE18.a0, sgpsirsE18.00, sgpsirsE18.b1
Description:
Upwelling longwave data was somewhat noisy during this period. There
               was a direct relation to the case and dome thermistor measurements for 
               the upwelling longwave PIR (UIR). Data quality does not appear to be 
               greatly affected overall, though instantaneous values had greater 
               than usual variability. The noise disappeared on 10/19.

SGP/SIRS/E10 - Noisy UIR (upwelling longwave)data stream problem
DataStreams:sgpsirs20sE10.a0, sgpsirsE10.00, sgpsirsE10.b1
Description:
Beginning 6/29, upwelling longwave (UIR) values frequently
                 exceeded quality control boundaries and appeared excessively 
                 noisy. Instrument wiring was suspected.  Data remained noisy 
                 until 08/06/2003 0500GMT when the UIR data returned to normal.

SGP/SIRS/E11 - PSP dome contamination
DataStreams:sgpsirs20sE11.a0, sgpsirsE11.00, sgpsirsE11.b1
Description:
Measured values of diffuse shortwave downwelling radiation fluctuated below derived values 
of downwelling shortwave radiation during the afternoon hours under clear conditions, 
probably due to a dirty PSP dome. 

SMOS precipitation and wind speed data reveal rain and wind on 02/19/03 at 2300 GMT 
probably contaminated the PSP dome with dirt.

Precipitation of .4mm on 02/29/04 1400 seems to have effectively cleared the PSP dome 
since PSP data on 03/01/04 compares correctly to direct and diffuse components.

SGP/SIRS/E15 - PSP dome contamination
DataStreams:sgpsirs20sE15.a0, sgpsirsE15.b1
Description:
PSP dome was dirty.  Afternoon values of downwelling shortwave radiation were less than 
derived values by about 50 W/m^2.  

PSP values compare well to derived PSP values after precip event on 02/29/04 1300-1600 
GMT. Maintenance on 03/02 1713 GMT revealed no unusual contamination.  Precip on 02/29 
likely effectively cleaned the PSP dome.

SGP/SIRS/E16 - PSP Dome Contamination
DataStreams:sgpsirs20sE16.a0, sgpsirsE16.b1
Description:
Downwelling Shortwave (DS) values near 22:00 GMT during clear skys are
lower than expected due to contamination of pyranometer dome.  A dime-sized
spot of dirt was found on the southwest portion of the pyranometer dome. 
DS values for cloudy conditions during this period are also suspect, but
the amount of irradiance reduction are not significant.

SGP/SIRS/E10 - Reprocess: Incorrect shortwave radiometer calibration coefficients
DataStreams:sgpsirsE10.00, sgpsirsE10.b1
Description:
During the pyrgeometer instrument (PIR) changeout a datalogger program was loaded with 
incorrect calibration coefficients for the shortwave instruments.  The affected measurements 
(instruments) were: downwelling diffuse (8-48), upwelling shortwave (PSP), direct normal 
(NIP) and downwelling shortwave (PSP)

Recalculate irradiances by determining original mV signal and reapplying the correct 
calibration coefficients.  For SGP/SIRS/E10 and each one minute irradiance value perform the 
following calculations by instrument:
DD(corrected) = (DD/107.24)*114.63
US(corrected) = (US/113.19)*117.46

SGP/SIRS/E11 - Reprocess: Incorrect shortwave radiometer calibration coefficients
DataStreams:sgpsirsE11.00, sgpsirsE11.b1
Description:
During the pyrgeometer instrument (PIR) changeout a datalogger program was loaded with 
incorrect calibration coefficients for the shortwave instruments.  The affected measurements 
(instruments) were: downwelling diffuse (8-48), upwelling shortwave (PSP), direct normal 
(NIP) and downwelling shortwave (PSP)

Field tech reports the datalogger program was corrected on 4/27/04.  Archive data review 
shows this was not the case and the corrected datalogger program was uploaded sometime 
late day 5/4/04. The end date for this DQR was chosen to be 5/5/04 0000 the first full day 
of the correct datalogger program.

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)*123.27
US(corrected) = (US/113.19)*127.75
NIP(corrected)= (NIP/120.17)*126.69
DS(corrected) = (DS/118.46)*126.56

Description:
Incorrect calibration coefficients were applied to the upwelling longwave measurements due 
to an error in the instrument configuration file.

The data have been reprocessed to apply corrected calibrations.  The reprocessed data were 
archived in August 2006.

sgpsirsE13.b1
Description:
After the DIR changeout on 8/27, the DLH measurements at the central facility vary 
significantly between pyrgeometers by as much as 65 Wm^(-2).  It was discovered that the two 
downwelling pyrgeometers destined for C1 and E13 may have been swapped during installation.  
The instrument mentor is unsure of applied calibration coefficients during this DQR's 
time period.  Backing out new downwelling longwave irradiances would be difficult in this 
case. Fortunately, the problem period is less than a fortnight.

During the morning hours of 01/06, the direct normal shortwave readings are anomalously 
low in clear sky conditions, causing very large differences (approaching/exceeding 300 
W/m^2) between the downwelling shortwave hemispheric (DSH) readings and the derived 
downwelling shortwave hemispheric readings.  It would appear the NIP window had iced over during

SGP/SIRS/E18 - Possible PSP dome contamination
DataStreams:sgpsirs20sE18.a0, sgpsirsE18.00, sgpsirsE18.b1
Description:
Downwelling shortwave hemispheric (DSH) measurements did not agree with derived DSH 
readings during the morning hours up to 1500GMT each clear day.   PM cleaning on 2/16 2250 
revealed nothing other than dirty water spots.  A dirty or ice covered PSP dome may have been 
the cause, clearing itself before the PM crew arrived.

SGP/SIRS/E13 - Monthly Report
DataStreams:sgpsirsE13.b1
Description:
:Data quality this site-month is good. The offset for the Global PSP is about -7 W/m^2.
The dominant problem here is the daytime 3 component problem. Direct and Diffuse are
always too high and Global is too low. The problem occurs around the time that the
testing regime switches from twilight to daytime testing regimes or from daytime to
twilight. The flags occur in significant numbers on the 1st - 5th, 7th - 20th, 24th - 
28th,
30th, and 31st. The failures vary in magnitude and duration. The worst flags for a 
particular

respect to this problem. Global goes below daytime empirical limits on both the 5th and
6th for substantial periods of time. Diffuse
also goes below daytime empirical limits on the 6th in the afternoon. Upwelling Longwave
is
below empirical limits on the 24th. This may not be a problem, as many sites exhibited
the same problem on the same night. Exceptionally cold temperatures may be the cause.

SGP/SIRS/E12 - Reprocess: Incorrect calibrations
DataStreams:sgpsirs20sE12.a0, sgpsirsE12.00, sgpsirsE12.b1
Description:
During site corrective maintenance to resolve an Extended Facility data collection 
problem, the SIRS.E12 datalogger was power cycled (1725 GMT).  The datalogger reverted to an old 
SIRS program with incorrect S/Ns and calibration coefficients for all instruments at 
this station.

The SW data can be recalibrated as follows:
First divide value by incorrectly applied cal coeff (first number) then multiply by 
correct cal coeff (second number)
  down_short_diffuse_hemisp     107.27	118.68
  up_short_hemisp	        113.19	127.95

  down_short_hemisp             118.46	102.11

The LW data were recalibrated and reprocessed as part of a larger LW calibration task.  
The reprocessed data were archived in October 2006.

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

SGP/SIRS/E10 - Reprocessed: Longwave Calibration error
DataStreams:sgpsirsE10.b1
Description:
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 instantaneous data records. 
Still, these data are considered far superior to the originally processed data. The 
reprocessed data were archived in August 2006.

SGP/SIRS - SIRS E10  April 1999  (SERI-QC Results)
DataStreams:sgpsirsE10.a0, sgpsirsE10.a1
Description:
Data quality for this site is excellent this month. Daytime data are 100 %
present. Of the present daytime data, 98% are at or below the 5% quality 
assurance threshold. Severe flags early in the morning on the 4th through
the 21st, and on the 30th indicate that the DS, DD and NIP are above 
twilight empirical limits. Low-level flags later in the morning and around
mid-day during the second week of the month indicate that the DS is too low
by the three-component test, or that the DD or NIP is too high. Low-level
flags late in the afternoon on clear or partly cloudy days indicate the 
opposite. Heavily overcast skies pushed the DS and DD below daytime or 
twilight empirical limits on a number of occasions. On the afternoon of the
22nd   the NIP, along with the DD and DS signals, fell below daytime limits 
for a few minutes. Moderate flags later the same day indicate that the DS 
is too high by the three-component test.  No problems are notes in the UIR,
DIR or US signals.
