Subject:	NSA/NIMFR/C1 - Alignment problem
DataStreams:	nsanimfrC1.a0, nsanimfrC1.b1
Description:	NIMFR at the Barrow Site was not pointing directly at the sun because the solar tracker was not aligned correctly. As a consequence, the measured irradiances are too low. Once the alignment problem was fixed at 6/3/2004 1925 GMT, the problem was apparently solved. The NIP might similarly be affected.

Subject:	NSA/NIMFR/C1 - No data collected during winter
DataStreams:	nsanimfrC1.b1, nsanimfrC1.a0
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.

DataStreams:	nsanimfrC1.a0, nsanimfrC1.b1, nsanimfraod1michC1.c1, nsanimfrlangleyC1.c1
Description:	Near midnight during periods of 24hr (or near 24hr) sun, there are local obstructions that partially to completely block the direct beam, causing a reduction in instrument signal.
