Subject:	NSA/NIMFR/C2 - No data collected during winter
DataStreams:	nsanimfrC2.a0, nsanimfrC2.b1
Description:	The sun does not rise above the horizon at the NSA sites between November and January each year. During this time period, the MFR instruments are removed and returned to PNNL for maintenance and calibration. The instruments are generally re-installed in March.

Subject:	NSA/NIMFR/C2 - Instrument problem. Tube heater not functioning properly.
DataStreams:	nsanimfrC2.00, nsanimfrC2.a0, nsanimfrC2.b1, nsanimfrlangleyC2.c1, nsanimfrlangplotC2.c1
Description:	The instrument was installed after winter calibration and the tube heater was found to be operating erratically. The purpose of the heating the tube is to keep condensation from forming on the window. Though erratic, the tube temperature was generally warm enough that no condensation should have formed. There was never any evidence of this in the irradiance data. Since it is not believed to have affected the adversely, this DQR is being assigned as transparent.

Subject:	NSA/NIMFR/C2 - Tube heater problem
DataStreams:	nsanimfrC2.a0, nsanimfrC2.b1
Description:	The tube heater was not keeping the tube quite as warm as we would like to see. The function of the tube heater is to keep condensation from forming on the window. Even though it wasn't working up to spec, it was still staying warm enough to keep condensation off. Maintenance resolved the issue. It should be noted that some fluctuation is normal due to the very cold air temps this instrument operates in.
Measurements:	nsanimfrC2.a0: tube_temp nsanimfrC2.b1: tube_temp
