SGP/BRS/C1 - low downwelling shortwave readings
DataStreams:sgpbrs20sC1.a0, sgpbrs60sC1.a1, sgpbrsC1.00, sgpbrsC1.a2
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.

SGP/BRS/C1 - Monthly Summary
DataStreams:sgpbrsC1.b1
Description:
Data quality this site-month is poor. This is due largely to the missing Upwelling
Shortwave and Upwelling Longwave the entire month. This problem has been ongoing for
several months now. DQPR # 124 asserted that the Global PSP was recording inaccurate
readings. Thus, the Global PSP was changed out on the 17th by site ops. Prior to the
17th, the Global PSP was falling below nighttime empirical limits on most nights and
there were severe 3 component failures during the day. The change out of the PSP
mitigated the severity of the 3 component failures and eliminated the nighttime empirical
limits failures. There were still substantial 3 component flags after the 17th.

SGP/BRS/C1 - Reprocess: Incorrect Calibration Coefficients
DataStreams:sgpbrs20sC1.a0, sgpbrsC1.00, sgpbrsC1.b1
Description:
Lightening strike on or near 6/2/2004 took the BRS NIP(31747E6) out of service, on or near 
6/15 the NIP was replaced and the datalogger program was changed to reflect the new 
NIP(31343E6). On 8/5/2004 the DIR (Downwelling longwave) instrument was changed out and a new 
program was loaded to reflect a new DIR.  The new program contained the original 
installed shortwave instrument calibration coefficients including NIP 31747E6. Thus from 8/5 to 
when the shortwave instruments were changed out on 12/3 the wrong s/n and calibration 
factor (i.e. 31747E6) was applied to the actual NIP(31343E6)installed at BRS C1.

SGP/BRS/C1 - Monthly Summary
DataStreams:sgpbrsC1.b1
Description:
Data quality this site-month is good. The offset in the Global PSP has been much improved, 
with an average nighttime offset of -4 W/m^2, since measures were taken on 17 DEC 2004 
to fix it. The Global PSP does not go below nighttime empirical limits all month. Global 
does fall below daytime empirical limits for significant time periods on the 2, 4, 5, 12, 
28, 30. There were still substantial 3 component flags 17 DEC 2004. The charcteristic 
three component failures are present through out the month, especially closer to the end of 
the month. The problem is about equally as bad in the morning as the evening.

The flags are usually high level yellow at their worst for any given day. Finally, there 
are the typical three component flags on the 29th as well, but these occur under cloudy 
skies. The data return to normal the next day and a cause for the problem cannot be 
determined.

SGP/BRS/C1 - Reprocessed: Longwave Calibration error
DataStreams:sgpbrsC1.b1
Description:
Modified pyrgeometer calibration procedures were implemented beginning in June 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 November 2006.

SGP/CSPHOT/C1 - Not Performing Zenith Observations (Cloud Mode)

Description:
There were problems associated with the implementation of "cloud mode" on the upgraded 
CSPHOT system resulting from problems with the programming on the internal EPROM.  The 
"cloud mode" did not work properly and other observations were also affected. For example, 
early morning sun and almucantar observations were missing.

On 4/30/2007, the instrument was re-installed with cloud mode and was verified to be 
working.

Description:
The instrument was temporarily replaced while the primary instrument was out for repairs. 
Data should be unaffected, however, zenith observations are not available during this 
time period.

On 4/30/2007, the primary instrument was re-installed with cloud mode and was verified to 
be working.

Description:
There was a distinct cosine curve in the AOD data, which indicated a problem with the 
instrument, possibly due to a bad eprom in the control box.  The instrument was removed from 
service on 7/24/08 and replaced on 9/24/08.

SGP/BRS/C1 - SW Direct Normal incorrect
DataStreams:sgpbrs20sC1.a0, sgpbrsC1.b1
Description:
Apparent lightning strike in the instrument cluster area resulted in a failed NIP. Data 
are missing or incorrect.  

The SIRS was due for calibration change outs so the US, DS, DD and NIP were replaced. The 
updated program was loaded at approximately 06/14/2011 1739 GMT.

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)

  • Radiation, shortwave, direct normal irradiance, 1-min avg(short_direct_normal)

SGP/BRS/C1 - Reprocess: Incorrect calibration coefficient for down_short_diffuse_hemisp
DataStreams:sgpbrs20sC1.a0, sgpbrsC1.b1
Description:
Applied calibration coefficient and serial number for down_short_diffuse was incorrect for 
the specified period.

Perform the following calculation to correct the data, 
DD= downwelling diffuse instrument:
Old Calibration coefficient = 114.74[W/m2\mV]
New Calibration Coefficient = 109.51[W/m2\mV]   
DD(new)[W/m2]=( DD(old)[W/m2]/ 114.74 [W/m2\mV] )* 109.51 [W/m2/mV]
