SGP/SIRS/E6 - Bad upwelling long_wave hemisp
DataStreams:sgpsirsE6.b1, sgpsirs20sE6.a0
Description:
The upwelling longwave hemispheric (up_long_hemisp) values were intermittently missing or 
incorrect.  Sensor was replaced on 7/19 and the problem was resolved.

Subject:
SGP/SIRS/E20 - Downwelling LW incorrect
DataStreams:sgpsirsE20.b1, sgpsirs20sE20.a0
Description:
The downwelling longwave hemispheric shaded (down_long_hemisp_shaded ) values periodically 
were missing or incorrect. Connections on the Multiplexer were reseated on 7/13/2011 at 
18:11 resolving the problem.

  • inst_down_long_shaded_dome_temp

Subject:
SGP/SIRS/E13 - Intermittent upwelling longwave
DataStreams:sgpsirsE13.b1, sgpsirs20sE13.a0
Description:
Beginning 9/19/2011 @ 15:12, the upwelling longwave values are often spiking to large and 
small values throughout the day. A multiplexer was found to be the problem and the ops 
replaced it on 10/27/2011.

Incorrect data are not recoverable for the specified time range. However, good data exists 
within the time range.  The SGPQCRAD VAP data stream provides flags for "good" data and 
appears to accurately flag bad data during this time range. Users are advised to use this 
data stream to screen for correct up_long_hemisp values.
Measurements:sgpsirs20sE13.a0:
  • inst_up_long_case_resist
  • inst_up_long_hemisp_tp
  • inst_up_long_dome_resist

Subject:
SGP/SIRS/C1 - NIP Failure
DataStreams:sgpsirsC1.b1, sgpsirs20sC1.a0
Description:
The short_direct_normal (NIP instrument) cable failed (broken wire in NIP connector) 
during this time period. Data are not recoverable.


An estimate of direct normal values can be derived using the following formula:

short_direct_normal = (down_short_hemisp - down_short_diffuse_hemisp)/cos(zenith angle)
Measurements:sgpsirs20sC1.a0:
  • inst_direct_normal
