Subject:	GAN/SKYRAD/M1 - Degraded IRT mirror
DataStreams:	ganskyrad60sM1.b1
Description:	The gold mirror was worn and needed to be replaced. Degradation of the mirror occurs gradually and it is difficult to determine when it begins to affect the measurement. To estimate the beginning of the problem, I used the time when the difference in IR sky temperature from the MWR3C was consistantly greater that 2.4K (2 times the resolution of the IRT measurement). The problem was corrected when the mirror was replaced.
Measurements:	ganskyrad60sM1.b1: IR Brightness Temperature(sky_ir_temp) sky_ir_temp_std sky_ir_temp_min sky_ir_temp_max

Subject:	GAN/SKYRAD/M1 - PIR2 failure
DataStreams:	ganskyrad20sM1.a0, ganskyrad60sM1.b1
Description:	Increasing difference between PIR1 and PIR2 beginning December 12. Suspected problem with PIR2 thermistor bridge or instrument thermistor. OPS replaced PIR2 unit with a spare. The data from PIR2 after replacement appears to be normal.

Subject:	GAN/SKYRAD/M1 - PIR1 failure
DataStreams:	ganskyrad20sM1.a0, ganskyrad60sM1.b1
Description:	PIR1 irradiance data are incorrect beginning Feb 4th and questionable as far back as Jan 31st around 0400 UTC. Site operations ceased Feb 9 before repairs were made.
