SGP/BRS/C1 - low downwelling shortwave readings
DataStreams:sgpbrsC1.00, sgpbrsC1.a2, sgpbrs20sC1.a0, sgpbrs60sC1.a1
Description:
Downwelling shortwave (DS) values frequently drop below -10 W/m^2 at night, and are 
consistently 20-40 W/m^2 less than the calculated downwelling shortwave during the day in 
clear-sky conditions. Corrective maintenance on 12/1/2004 corrected this offset.  It is not 
clear which CM action corrected the problem since the DS instrument cable was grounded to a 
new location and the DS ventilator fan was found in poor condition and was replaced.  
Either of these issues could have led to the problem observed in this instrument.
