Subject: | NSA/SKYRAD/C1 - reprocess: PIR identified as unshaded is really shaded |
DataStreams: | nsaskyrad20sC1.a1 |
Description: | On 5/15/02 the Global PIR was moved from the unshaded position on the Skyrad stand to a shaded spot on the tracker. It is still using the same Logger channel as it did as an unshaded PIR even though it is now shaded. |

Subject: | NSA/SKYRAD/C1 - Power outage affecting some SKYRAD instruments |
DataStreams: | nsaskyrad20sC1.a0, nsaskyrad60sC1.b1, nsaskyradC1.00 |
Description: | During the power outage the downwelling global measurement from the PSP instrument and downwelling diffuse 8-48 instrument shows a slight increase from -5 to +0 W/m2. This is due to removal of thermal offsets induced by the AC heater during the power outage. This heater is installed within the PSP ventilator - it is necessary for the NSA/C1 climate. The downwelling longwave PIR instrument is unaffected due to case and dome temperature corrections. The IRT is AC powered and was not operational during this time period. |

Subject: | NSA/SKYRAD/C1 - Reprocessed: Incorrect calibration coefficient |
DataStreams: | nsaskyrad20sC1.a0, nsaskyrad60sC1.b1 |
Description: | Installed Skyrad PSP (downwelling shortwave hemispheric irradiance) had calibration coefficient Rs applied when it should have used Rsc. ARM is using IR corrected Rsc and CFc coefficients for PSPs deployed at all facilities. PSP #32026 should use RSc@45=8.7578 ?V/W/m? and not Rs@45=8.6335. Reprocessed to correct downwelling shortwave hemispheric irradiance (DS) by: DS(new) = (DS(old) / 115.83 ) * 114.18 Reprocessing completed March 2008. |

Subject: | NSA/SKYRAD/C1 - Instrument cleaning effects |
DataStreams: | nsaskyrad20sC1.a0, nsaskyrad60sC1.b1 |
Description: | Starting Dec 16th the Skyrad PIR1 and PIR2 (down_long_hemispheric)started differing by greater than 30W/m2 at times. This is much greater than expected for these instruments (typical is <10-15 W/m2). NSA OMIS reports and observer comments reveal that PM periodically clean the snow from the IRT and ventilator fans on Skyrad and Gndrad. In the case of the Skyrad PIRs, one lies in the wind shadow of the other and builds up more snow which is periodically cleaned out and then builds up again causing the PIR1 PIR2 discrepancies. Disregard down_long_hemispheric during this time period. However, data suggests PIR2 is most likely at fault - potentially use PIR1 data during this time period. |

Subject: | NSA/SKYRAD/C1 - IRT mirror heater failure |
DataStreams: | nsaskyrad20sC1.a0, nsaskyrad60sC1.b1 |
Description: | The heater of the IRT gold mirror failed due to a broken wire (that probably occurred on 12/13 during maintenance of the solar tracker) allowing snow and frost to accumulate on the mirror until it was cleared during daily preventative maintenance. The problem was corrected when the heater wires were replaced. |

Subject: | NSA/SKYRAD/C1 - Direct and Diffuse incorrect |
DataStreams: | nsaskyrad20sC1.a0, nsaskyrad60sC1.b1 |
Description: | The short_direct_normal (NIP) instrument and cable were damaged by tracker rewind malfunction. Tracker and NIP replaced on 4/22 2200GMT but tracker not operational until 4/23 1815GMT. Thus, down_short_diffuse_hemisp (8-48) was not shaded 4/22 to 4/23. Do not use 8-48 data from 4/22 to 4/23. NIP data is not recoverable during entire time but can be estimated using component sum for each 1 minute data: Direct = (global - diffuse)/cos(zenith angle) |

Description: | Tracker stopped working at this site during the time range specified. Reason for failure is unknown. Tracker power cycled and restarted by maintenance 06/30 2008 1740 GMT. The short_direct_normal (NIP) and down_short_diffuse_hemisp (8-48) data are bad during this time. Data are not recoverable. |

Subject: | NSA/SKYRAD/C1 - Incorrect 20s dome thermistor data |
DataStreams: | nsaskyrad20sC1.a1 |
Description: | The 30-second and 50-second PIR2 diffuse dome thermistor data in all skyrad 20s data records taken to data is in fact case thermistor data. No other data are affected. The 20 second skyrad data cannot be used to recompute the diffuse PIR2 data. Note: This data was named pir2_dome_therm at the beginning of this time range andlater the variable was renamed to inst_down_lng_shaded2_dome_resist. |
