When it comes to durability and performance, air tools are the clear choice as they have fewer moving parts and they don't require electricity or batteries to run on, and are powered by compressed air instead. Air tools generate more power than their electrical counterparts and provide the benefit of full torque at just the push of a button. From impact wrenches and air grinders, to pneumatic hoses and air tool fittings, we offer discount prices on all kinds of air tools – including our famous Central Pneumatic tools.

Choose a sport … and improve your skills, techniques, tactics and knowledge of the rules
Hundreds of ways you can utilise emerging technologies in your PE classroom Occasionally!
by Jarrod Robinson
I get asked by teachers why anyone would bother introducing technology into Physical Education. This usually turns into quite an interesting discussion about what exactly do they mean by .'technology.', which is then typically followed up with concern over the replacement of Physical Activity for some sort of online alternative.
In this situation, I respond with the following:
- "Technology is all around us, it involves every aspect of Physical Education, from the shoes the students wear to the sports equipment used during the game. So I assume you are talking about digital technologies?."
- "The introduction or emerging of digital technologies in Physical Education does not seek to replace physical activity; it aims to help explore physical activity. Technology becomes like any other tool in the PE teachers toolkit, useful for whenever the situation demands it, never just for the sake of it.".
I would also indicate within my response that elite sports organisations take advantage of the latest technology to enhance sports performance. This is the same thing we try to achieve in Physical Education, albeit with students rather than sports stars.
A typical semester in my physical education classes would most likely involve 90% physical activity that included absolutely no involvement of emerging technologies. It.'s during the 10% of a semester that we spend exploring the powers of technology to improve our understanding of human activity.
So I urge you to read along as I take you through hundreds of ways you can utilise emerging technologies in your PE classroom for the better.

Symphony Of Science: The Case For Mars
Note: Music video is after the jump because the beat's so fresh it oughta be illegal.
This is the sixth installment in the autotuned Symphony of Science series. It's all about why humans should further explore Mars and is appropriately titled, 'The Case For Mars'. Sadly, based on the current lack of interest in outerspace as a whole, I'm gonna go ahead and speculate the case isn't going so hot. Maybe we should consider hiring a lawyer instead of just going with the public defender. I mean, he did show up for court with nothing but a briefcase full of comic books. What's that? You're right, you're right -- we should give him some more time.
Hit it for the video.
Thanks to qazz, Paulo and Kelly C., who have all dreamed they went to Mars and ate Martian cheese, then woken up in the refrigerator. You too?!
According to space transport company SpaceX founder Elon Musk, humans will be traveling to Mars in the next 10 years (15 at most), and by 2040 we'll be sending people there on roundtrip vacations for $500,000. Yeaaaaaaah, how bout we start with the moon? The secret to cheap s... / Continue →

Convertible bonds offer an interesting middle ground between a stock and a bond, and thus, an interesting mix of risk and reward. In others words, convertible bonds can provide more upside potential than "non-convertible," straight bonds (because of the ability to convert the security into equity) and more downside protection than stocks (because of the fixed-income nature of the security).
For investors seeking a high level of income, high-yielding convertibles might be a good option. Of course, a high yield often means increased risk. High-coupon convertibles are often issued by companies with questionable financial strength. High-yielding convertibles often trade below par and are referred to as being "busted." As such, they provide only minimal exposure to the upside of the underlying stock.
Still, because of the bond component, so called "busted" convertible securities are higher up on a corporation's ownership chain than stocks, providing more safety than an equity investment in the event of a bankruptcy. Moreover, assuming the financial condition of the issuing company improves, there is likely to be more upside potential in a convertible than in a straight bond issued by the same company. And, if performance improves enough, the convertible's value could rise above par, allowing it to reflect more of the stock's price performance.
Below is an abbreviated list of convertible bonds with coupon rates of 6% and higher in our Survey. The list contains both "busted" convertibles and those trading above par value. Convertibles trading above par will offer more meaningful exposure to the fluctuations in the common stock of the issuing company, while providing decent income for above-average total returns.

Highlighted Convertibles:
Alaska Communications Systems Group (ALSK) provides leading integrated communications services in Alaska. Its wireline and wireless networks extend throughout the 49th state and into the Continental U.S. via two undersea fiber optic cable systems. Its wireline business is one of the most comprehensive in Alaska, and the wireless segment includes a state-wide third-generation (3G) network.
With plans to build a 4G LTE wireless network in Alaska later this year and the subscriber exodus slowing, revenues are expected to exceed 2010 levels. The per share earnings should also come in about six times more than last year's very weak figure.
Although the common stock yield is higher than that of the convertible, a common stock dividend is the first cost that is cut by companies facing financial difficulties. On the other hand, interest on the convertible must be paid on time or the company goes into default, giving bondholders some control of the company.
Penson Worldwide (PNSN) provides a range of securities and futures processing infrastructure products and services such as securities and futures clearing services; margin lending; facilities management; technology and data products that include customizable front-end trading platforms; execution routing services; Internet account portfolio information services; holding and safeguarding securities and cash deposits; securities lending and borrowing; and proprietary trading services. As of December 31, 2010, Penson had 430 active securities correspondents, including 59 futures correspondents worldwide. Penson's clients are online, direct access, traditional retail brokers, large banks, institutional brokers, financial technology companies, and securities exchanges.
Penson's 8% convertible notes due 2014 are "busted," and thus have little or no sensitivity to movements in the common stock. The "junk-like" investment quality security, however, pays annual interest income of $80 per note and trades below par. Its current yield is 9.8% (compared to a dividendless common stock) and the yield to maturity is 17.1%. Take note that the notes mature on June 1, 2014.
US Airways Group (LCC) provides air transportation for passengers and cargo, operating approximately 3,200 flights daily to 200 communities in the United States, Canada, Europe, the Caribbean, and Latin America. As of December 31, 2010, the airline operated 339 mainline jets, supported by its regional airline subsidiaries and affiliates operating as US Airways Express. The company also operates a hub-and-spoke network, with hubs in Charlotte, Philadelphia, and Phoenix.
The 7.25% convertible notes due 2014 offer income, and are a safer haven for risk-averse investors; the volatility of the notes is about 45% less than that of the common. The value of the notes, which are currently trading deep in the money, is above conversion value and that leaves room for added value should the common stock price rise. The notes have a 4.6% current yield advantage over the common.

Straddling folk and bluegrass, Cleveland, OH's Lost State of Franklin started when founding member J. Scott Franklin was laid off in 2004. Reinventing himself as a traveling solo artist, the singer and multi-instrumentalist was invited to play at the 2006 Cash Bash in Chicago. He accepted, but a few months before the scheduled gig Franklin saw guitarist Rob Franklin Muzick perform; when Franklin asked Muzick to join him at Cash Bash, Lost State of Franklin were born. After their Chicago performance, the duo began booking more gigs, prompting Muzick to suggest adding an upright bass player to the mix. Franklin contacted David Mooser, a former rock bassist, who joined Lost State of Franklin soon after. Tyler Postma rounded out the group, and they released their first CD, Quarter to Lonely, in 2007. ~ Katherine Fulton

Vampires prey off living creatures, stalking unsuspecting humans, sucking their blood and often turning them into vampires. Not alive but not quite dead, vampires are fictional creatures who have haunted and fascinated human populations for centuries. The notion of the fanged, transylvanian Count Dracula was first popularized in Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula, but the character has seen many iterations over the years. Today's TV shows and movies portray vampires as sexy, mysterious and even sympathetic characters with meaningful relationships to humans. Here is a group of some of the most famous blood-suckers of TV and film.

City Planning and Management
Advancing the practice of city planning and management in the large-city setting.
Welcome to the website of the American Planning Association's City Planning and Management Division.
We are pleased to provide this informational resource for our members and for others who share our interests. Our division's mission, according to our bylaws, is to "advance the practice of city planning and management in the large-city setting." Three elements of this mission statement effectively define our division's niche within APA: a focus upon planning agency management, an orientation toward big cities, and an emphasis upon the practical over the theoretical.
At the National Planning Conference each year we present a session that helps advance the practice of city planning. For 2012 we presented a panel discussion on "General Plan Action Plans" to look at the work we do in our cities and how to do a better job of measuring and explaining it to the public. For more information on that session, contact Joseph Horwedel at firstname.lastname@example.com. We are working on the session for the 2013 conference in Chicago with a focus on how planning departments can drive positive economic development in our communities.
Each year, the Division also supports APA's New Directors Institute. It subsidizes overall Institute expenses, and offers scholarships to help new directors attend in these difficult times. Division members also contribute by serving as instructors. In 2012, 32 attendees spent a very busy day learning how to successfully move into a leadership position.
Our members have told us that these services are important to them and, in fact, we rely heavily upon our members to provide the services. Therefore, please consider volunteering to serve our division as a newsletter contributor, as moderator of a conference session, as a peer review team member, or in a variety of other capacities.
If you are interested in becoming more involved, please contact me at email@example.com.
Enjoy visiting our website and feel free to offer suggestions for improving it.

Chair, APA City Planning and Management Division

Pilates Rehabilitation Program
Physical therapists incorporate Pilates movement sequences to enhance neuromuscular training and restore physical function. Through a controlled flowing movement, routine Pilates enhances posture, strength, stamina and flexibility. By focusing on dynamic (as well as static) body alignment and posture, Pilates training also produces a connectedness between mind and body (neuromuscular control) that enhances movement for everyday activities as well as athletic performance.
Approach to Care
The goal of Pilates, and all of our integrative medicine services, is to enhance therapy outcomes by providing patients with options for alternative medicine techniques to be combined in conjunction with their current therapy. We aim to assist patients with pain and stress management as well as improve flexibility and balance. We believe that learning self-management tools that utilize the healing resources of body, mind, and spirit can empower our patients to more effectively meet their goals.
Utilizing traditional studio apparatus, our experienced orthopedic physical therapists integrate Pilates-based exercises into physical therapy treatment and conditioning program. Equipped with strong clinical reasoning skills, extensive knowledge of musculoskeletal pathologies and recent scientific research physical therapists provide individualized programs to help patients achieve optimal rehabilitation and function.
Therapists can also design a Pilates-based exercise program to improve neuromuscular co-ordination and physical performance for a wide variety of skills and sports.
Program Directors
The Pilates program at selected Spaulding Outpatient Centers is led by certified Pilates instructors specializing in the fundamentals of Pilates and working with individuals to improve the overall quality of their health.
Pilates Rehabilitation is available at the following Spaulding Outpatient Centers:
Spaulding Outpatient Center Wellesley
Spaulding Outpatient Center Brighton

In a sign of the increasing influence of social media, Ducati unveiled the new GP12 MotoGP bikes of Valentino Rossi and Nicky Hayden on the internet via team sponsor TIM's official facebook page earlier today. In a nearly hour-long presentation, the new livery for 2012 was presented, along with Rossi and Hayden answering a few questions about the bike and their upcoming 2012 season. The bikes are usually presented during the annual Wrooom team introduction in January, but they were not even built yet, much less have the livery decided upon.
For you Ducati/Valentino Rossi/Nicky Hayden fans, here's a selection of wallpaper-size images of both bikes from the presentation. Enjoy!

Look, your feelings are not going to be at peace for months and months. You are going to have to just accept that you are going to have these feelings that you think about sex, why, how could she, where, etc for about 8-9 months very frequently everyday. You have people here you can ask why.. You vent here on SI. Start focusing on how you can change and be a much better man at filling a woman's needs... And I don't mean sex..
Your woman needs to you lead her.
Your woman needs you to make decisions.
Your woman needs to feel safe with you.
Your woman needs you to be successful.
If you cannot control yourself, let me recommend you now go file D. When you shift all those feeling toward ending it, get on match.com and start having woman pursue you, your feelings will be pretty good. Other feelings might crop up like the games many women play in dating. But you will get a great satisfaction about your own place and a few others.
The quicker you decide, the better.
If you decide to R, then you had better change a few things about yourself. Because your anger might push her away if you cannot control it. I think you get out of your head trying to fix your W. She can only fix herself. So stop diagnosing her and just make the choice to love her.
So, I made the choice to love my W and brought her lemon drop candy home yesterday.
I'm not happy. I just keep feeling it more and more. Even though my BH won't say it, I have this gut feeling that the A was a deal breaker for him, and though he is still here, he is not "here". I have tried and learned and God everything else for 3 years and it is like he is stuck in the mud
He just told me last night that he won't go to MC with me anymore. That it brings it up and up and up. Meanwhile I want us to go to MC for us and our future M, not only because of my A.
We had a great weekend. Well actually we had a great Saturday morning, I could feel he was "present", but it dwindled quickly by Saturday afternoon. He keeps saying he is "good", but just a BH should trust their gut, I too have that feeling.
I don't like his anger, I don't like what he did to my DD last week and he is still so stuck and all consumed, and it feels like he will continue like that.
I just don't know. Just not happy today.
How was I so blind and how cunning was it that my WW and AP could cover up a double life so well?
This is one that most (all?) of us with LTAs think about at some point. We do not see things we are not looking for. There is a YouTube video of a bear riding a unicycle through men doing a basketball warm-up. Nobody ever sees the bear until he or she knows what to look for, then you cannot miss it. I suspect that like me, you were a naive about love, M and relationships. You trusted you WW and did not expect there to be an A, so you were not looking for one, you saw what you expected to see.
As for cunning, my FW is not cunning nor a good strategizer (word?). She hid her As in plain sight. I knew the OM, I knew she spent time with them, it just didn't ever occur to me it could be an A. When I did think A, I was easily talked out of it because I did not want to believe it.
I do not see any of these as negatives on me. I look for problems and unexpected dangers for a living and I am good at it. The thing is, I know what to look for, I recognize the inconsistent. I was not so well trained or experienced in my M relationship. I am now, and I am amazed at what I pick up on in my relationship and others'.
...although she was planning to leave me and asked him to be patient with her. I'm guessing she made it pretty easy for him to just hang in there for so many years,...
I think that this is pretty common verbiage. FWW had a 5-year plan to leave me, for over 5 years. She never took any action on it other than the date other men part. I believe that those involved in a LTA lack empathy and fear intimacy. Overly simplified, but this allows the relationship to exist for years without burning out or escalating to true love and separation from the M partner.
She has only had one IC and we've had 4 MCs. I've been lucky to be on my 4th IC but we all agree my WW needs a lot of work... <snip> ...but waiting every six damned weeks for MC ain't gonna cut it.
It is my opinion that MC is not of much value until the WS has done enough work in IC to own her issues and begin to work on them. For nearly a year after dday, FWW say it as my fault that she was unhappy, she could not tell me or the IC how she truly felt, she was like a chameleon expressing whatever feelings she thought the person expected. Life was black or white for her, there were no shades of grey. I was either great, or an ass. Until she made headway on building some internal stability and owning her feelings, MC was not very helpful.
FWW spent 2+ years in IC, sometimes weekly and sometimes monthly. I too spent some time in IC learning why I put up with a W who treated me as FWW did (KISA, nice guy syndrome, etc). These were my issues to own and work through so that I could be a better me, a more authentic person.
I encourage you to work on you, and let your WW work on herself. Let her schedule her IC meetings, order and read books, show you that she wants to be an authentic person and that the M is important to her. While you wait to see how she does on this, follow Tryn's advice and work on you. Self-work is always good. Your life is better whether you stay M or not.
So today I was trying to tell her I think she's a passive aggressive...
I agree with Tryn that making diagnosis and this type of statement is not productive. Rather, I encourage you to approach it with more of an:
When you do that, I feel this
eg: Honey, when we are talking and you are distracted by traffic and then ask what we were talking about, I feel that what I am saying is not important to you.
FWW had many personality traits that were difficult and it would have been (and at times was) easy to exclaim, "You are this", or "because you are that". When I would say any labels, she would become defensive and she would then shift the discussion to whether or not she was or was not that label. This took the conversation away from the important issues of how I felt when she treated me a certain way. She could not argue or deny I felt a certain way, nor that she had expressed the feeling she had. OTOH, she could argue all day that she was not this or that (insert acronym or psych 101 labels here).
We all find our own way. I was not ready to work on R and rebuild my M until after I reached the point I was certain I could walk away from FWW and my M. Until I knew I would be OK M or D, I was working from a point of fear and trying to hold on to something. I felt that if FWW would just be a certain way, act the way I want, everything would be OK. Once I was able to detach completely, I could then see FWW as how she authentically is and decide if I wanted to stay with her or not. No fear, no guilt, no settling.
I don't like his anger, I don't like what he did to my DD last week
Good luck in reaching your own happiness.
I think I am at a fork in the road. I am stuck like RSEB'S BH, though not as bad. My good stretches (free of pain) last for several days.
My WW is starting to disqualify herself. She sees my pain as just me trying to hurt her. I feel I have to be perfect in order to save the M.
Being in contact with the other BS has thrown a wrench in our M. The other BS wants copies of my cell phone bills to corroborate what I have told her. My WW is dead set against this. Says I am choosing someone else over her. Major fighting over this, claims that I have always cared more about pleasing others than taking care of her, etc. Maybe valid criticisms absent an A to deal with.
She is punishing me today for being angry and is staying with her parents tonight.
I am not yet able to be attractive like tryn says all the time. My WW will not look into her inner demons as Linda Mcdonald's book and everyone else here says must happen.
ATS - your post was timely, could have been meant for me today. I do not know how to get where you got and thus be in a position to work from love and acceptance (or leave) vs. fear and holding on to what I thought I had.
OUCH everybody. I am hurting today and feeling lots of guilt.
How does your W know about what the other BS wants?
Stay calm.. I think you can get through this...
Part of all R'ing the BS must survive her nose getting rubbed in her own sh..t.

Look, The OMs W deserved to know who she is married too. Giver that proof and ask her not to come back into your life. This is not about your W.
I think you let her trot off to moms house. LET HER BE MAD. Tough. This is what she signed up for. Its time to face what she did. Its ugly.
I think you keep the theme simple when she calls back. But keep the theme MUTUALLY must now move into a more giving, caring, loving and intimate marriage.
Honey, I am now done with those people YOU brought into my world.I know in my heart I did what needed to be done in fairness of that OW. That was about me, NOT YOU. What we need to now focus on is our own marriage. Life is full of ups and downs. Wants and not wants. Good and bad. We must all face and accept personal responsibility for our choices and actions. I have made some, you have made some. We both should look hard at ourselves rather that blaming one another. I am working on myself right now to be a better man and you can do the same. If you have a better idea I am all ears. What is your choice?
And know this.. if she does not come home, your good will come. MC, you are a great kind nice man. Not many kind hearted men around. You might find single is a good way to go.. but IMO if you work on yourself you are going to attract all kinds a woman who will want to put thier hooks in you. HOLD your head high brother.
and by all means, try hard to keep all conflicts matter of fact.. stay cool..

The MOM's BW DOES have the right to have the facts about her BH. She is owed that, just as if the shoe were on the other foot, you would want that same courtesy. As Tryn said, this is not about your FWW, and for her to put it in a way that is putting "her against the MOM's BW" is not very remorseful on her part, it is actually selfish on her part.
Secondly, her running away to her parents home, that as well is not a good learned reaction. She is running, not facing her issues (though self created in this case) with you. She should talk to you about it. I understand, you are at one year out, you are very angry and I am sure you are not kind and giving at all times. I am sure your anger is coming out through words at times. Yes, not the best way, but you and your FWW have to work through it, if you are going to get past it.
If FWW doesn't come back? Her loss
My WW just told me that she "doesn't think she can do this anymore. That there is "too much stress in the relationship."
It's not like we are fighting everyday. Most of the time we have wonderful moments. Hell, if you guys remember we have a vow renewal scheduled for March 7. Wow.
I remember now she told our MC that because her job is stressful, she wants a stress free home life. Where does one find that in a marriage with 3 kids and lots of debt!!!
I wonder if this whole phone bill thing is related to not wanting OM to divorce, meaning not forcing her hand on commitment.
Guys, I am hurting, bad...
Thanks for all your encouragement everybody!!!! I think I am in a "love must be tough" moment.
let your wife just calm down right now she is out of her mind.
You too.. Watch a movie!
Hey, I am not sure what to say to give you advice on your WW's recent words to you and her behavior. I just wanted you to know that I am here and I read your post.
Try to take a break from all of this, mentally that is. Are your children home with you tonight? Maybe go out for some ice cream or something to try and clear your mind and regroup.
Personally I think she is still trying to control your M and she knows how to push your buttons. She almost has you begging her to stay. Please try and keep your distance from her until one of the LTA veteran BS's can come along to help you.
Sending you HUGE (((HUGS)))
She is going to her mom's tonight. I asked her matter of factly if she was going to pack up her clothes tomorrow. She said this is her home too. I offered too create a new bedroom for an in house separation. She just cried a bit. I'm lost.
My WW is starting to disqualify herself.
Not sure if I have been disqualified, rejected, or just being strung along.
During the last week, discussions on D. W is consistent in expressing lack of "feelings" towards me. I have responded in a simple manner: I love you; I am here by your side as long as you are willing to work on the M; if you do not or will not work on the M then I will let you go. We will D.
Saturday morning, W responds "we will work on the M". Monday, W goes to IC, picks me up from work and she tells me IC wants to work on her negative thoughts. That is, why she is afraid to D. W fears that she will work on the M and ten years later she will regret it. IC tells her about collaborative divorce. W says how money is not an important issue.
I respond with I love you and if you are going to work on D then I will set you free. Collaboration is a good approach and we can work the general frame work when we get home.
So, we get home and W goes to fix dinner. I go to computer to research collaborative divorce / attorney in our area. W comes over and says "we have not finished talking, let's do this later, come join me in the kitchen" and gives me a hug.
After dinner, we talk. More angst from W saying "I know you do not want this". We relaxed. In the morning, we talked briefly and W says "I like being married".
So, so luke warm and cold.
So I have been calm (and she has noticed that). I have accepted the past (her A) and moving on with my life. If she chooses to join me then it will be just another aspect of our life together. If she cannot work to make our M better then we will D and I will seek my happiness without her.
Here's to Life! Take care all.
God can I hear your hurt, I am SO sorry.
Now from my FWW perspective. I am trying to remember myself at you and your WW point, being one year out from D Day.
Now this is only IF she is truly remorseful, and only you know that MC Jack. That being said, your FWW is also hurting, granted it is by her actions, however she is getting to the point of truly realizing what she has done to you and your M, and that it is NEVER going away. Seeing your anger over the past few days is probably re-emphasizing that for her. Can I just tell you the guilt is PARALYZING at times. I can't tell you how many times I thought it would be easier to run away from the M and hide, then to face all the hurt and anger and destruction my actions caused.
You say she cried when you mentioned the spare room. I could see myself reacting in the same way. If you feel she is TRULY remorseful then I believe you should tell her how much you love her, that you are broken inside, but there is NOTHING you want more in this world then to spend the rest of your life loving her. Tell her that yes you are hurting, but that you think she is worth that hurt and you will work your butt off to let her see that. BUT!!! you need to make it clear that you need to feel loved and safe by her as well and that a requirement is that she has to work even harder and not give up, that her leaving for the night scares you and makes you feel alone.
Don't end the conversation by begging her to come back though. Tell her since she is already at her parents, tell her to enjoy her evening and that you are looking forward to seeing her tomorrow and having a nice night with her.
The guilt is unimaginable, especially when shock is gone and reality is setting in. It takes a strong and unselfish WS to fight through that.
To clarify, my WW is not angry. She is acting mortally wounded and is in retreat. That i just killed the marriage.
All, i made an unconscious mistake over the year. I took way to much blame in the beginning, did not resolve my anger early, 'won' and 'loved' my wife back into the marriage. We have had on the whole an amazing 11 months in spite of the painful moments.
But i see now that set up an R that gave credence to the pre A issues being mostly all my fault and thus a forgiveness implicitly bundled in. So anything that does not look perfect, and makes her think that "well Jack hasn't changed" means that there is no R.
The problem in our M before was that I was basically 180ing her during alot of the M.
RSEB, I see that we just cross posted...let me chew on your advice....

SURFRAD Network Data Problem Reports
Station(s): | Penn State |
Parameter(s): | PAR | Date(s): | 22-Sep-2013 to 14-Nov-2013 | Date Posted: | 21 November 2013 |
Description of Change:
The quantum sensor that measures photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) at the Penn State SURFRAD station lost approximately 4% sensitivity on 22 Sept. 2013. That sensor was replaced on 14 Nov. 2013 after which the PAR measurements increased to more normal values. On 21 Nov. 2013, the QC values of the Penn State SURFRAD PAR measurements over the affected period (22-Sept to 14-Nov. 2013) were set to bad (1), however, the PAR values were kept in the data files, i.e., not set to missing.
Station(s): | Table Mtn. |
Parameter(s): | Time | Date(s): | 23-Oct-2012 to 5-May-2013 | Date Posted: | 30 August 2013 |
Description of Change:
The clock on the Table Mountain SURFRAD station data logger drifted by nearly four minutes between 23 –Oct-2012 and 5-May-2013. On 5 May, the clock on the TBL data logger was found to ne nearly 4 minutes fast. The data logger problem was corrected and a linear correction has been applied to the time in all Table Mountain raw data files for the affected period. The affected Table Mountain data was subsequently reprocessed. Because of the small nature of the drift over such a long period, the one-minute data began to be adjusted in late December 2012 (day 356). The time-corrected SURFRAD data files for the affected period were loaded to the SURFRAD FTP site on 15-Aug-2013.
Station(s): | Penn State |
Parameter(s): | Station Pressure | Date(s): | 11-April-2003 to 18-June-2012 | Date Posted: | 10 May 2013 |
Description of Change:
We recently discovered that the barometer at the Penn State station drifted linearly downward by about 4 mb from 11-April-2003 to 18-June-2012--that is about 0.4 mb/year,. Because this change was so subtle, we did not catch the problem until we had enough data to analyze deviations from the long-term mean. A correction was devised and applied to all Penn State station pressure data during the affected 10-year period. All Penn State SURFRAD daily files have been reprocessed and are now available at the SURFRAD FTP site, with corrected station pressure.
Station(s): | All Stations |
Parameter(s): | Global downwelling solar and upwelling solar | Date(s): | Listed separately for each station below | Date Posted: | 12 July, 2010 |
Description of Change:
During the spring of 2010, the managers of SURFRAD were informed that they were given slightly off calibration values for all pyranometers that were calibrated in 2006. Calibrations supplied at that time were between 1.5% and 2.0% higher than they should have been. All sites were adversely affected but for differing periods. Only the global solar and upwelling solar parameters were reprocessed using amended calibration values. Direct and diffuse solar measurements were not affected. Data reprocessing took place on 8,9-July 2010 using amended calibration values. The reprocessed periods for each site are listed below:
Bondville: 5-June-2007 to 11-June-2008
Fort Peck: 4-Oct-2007 to 17-Sept-2008
Goodwin Creek: 11-May-2007 to 29-April-2008
Table Mountain: 28-July-2007 to 19-Aug.-2008
Desert Rock: 11-April-2007 to 25-March-2008
Penn State: 28-June-2007 to 29-July 2008
Sioux Falls: 22-Aug.-2007 to 9-Oct.-2008
Station(s): | Bondville |
Parameter(s): | Direct solar | Date(s): | 21 May, 2003 through 7 June, 2004 | Date Posted: | 23 Nov, 2009 |
Description of Change:
Description of change: An inaccurate 2002 factory calibration (responsivity) value for the Bondville pyrheliometer of 7.86 was originally used for 21 May 2003 through 7 June 2004. The post deployment calibration of that pyrheliometer was performed by NREL in August 2004, 3 months after the instrument was removed from Bondville. That BORCAL procedure produced a responsivity of 7.97. As a NIP sensor ages, the responsivity usually decreases. Therefore increase from the factory value (7.86) in 2002 to the NREL value of 7.97 in 2004 does not make sense. The factory informed SURFRAD managers that the 7.86 calibration assigned to the pyrheliometer was probably too low, and should be closer to 7.91, which is consistent with all subsequent calibrations of that instrument by NREL (2004: 7.97), Factory (2005: 7.93), and Dept of Commerce (2008: 7.97). Therefore the direct solar data at Bondville from 22 May 2003 through 8 June 2004 has been reprocessed using the post-deployment NREL responsivity value of 7.97.
Station(s): | Bondville |
Parameter(s): | Direct and diffuse solar | Date(s): | 1 April through 21 July, 1999 | Date Posted: | 23 Nov, 2009 |
Description of Change:
There were tracker related problems from March through May 1997 for Fort Peck. Bad direct and diffuse solar data from 1600-2300 UTC in March, April, and 5-19 May 1997 had been removed in the original daily editing. However for 3 May and 20-31 May the tracker was slightly off and those data were not edited out in the original daily processing. Those data have been removed in the present archive.
Station(s): | Fort Peck |
Parameter(s): | Direct and diffuse solar | Date(s): | 3, 20-31 May 1997 | Date Posted: | 23 Nov, 2009 |
Description of Change:
There were tracker related problems from March through May 1997 for Fort Peck. Bad direct and diffuse solar data from 1600-2300 UTC in March, April, and 5-19 May 1997 had been removed in the original daily editing. However for 3 May and 20-31 May the tracker was slightly off and those data were not edited out in the original daily processing. Those data have been removed in the present archive.
Station(s): | Penn State |
Parameter(s): | Direct and diffuse solar | Date(s): | 26 March - 9 July, 2000 | Date Posted: | 23 Nov, 2009 |
Description of Change:
There was a consistent unnatural dip in the direct solar signal from about 1500 through 2200 UTC on many days during that period that was not originally removed in the daily editing. There was also an apparent moisture-related problem in the NIP data that intermittently appeared during this period in the first hour or two after sunrise on some days during that period. Those problems have been resolved in the current data set on the SURFRAD FTP site.
Station(s): | All Stations |
Parameter(s): | Solar zenith angle | Date(s): | All SURFRAD Data | Date Posted: | 08 Apr. 2009 |
Description of Change:
A more accurate solar zenith angle calculation has been implemented in all code that deals with SURFRAD data. That includes the solar zenith angle calculation for the basic daily data files. On 8 Apr. 2009, all SURFRAD data from the beginning of each station onward was reprocessed to include the more accurate solar zenith angle. As of 8 Apr. 2009, all SURFRAD data files have been replaced in the ftp archive. The difference between the old solar zenith angle and new, more accurate calculation is minor.on the order of 0.2 deg.
Station(s): | All Stations |
Parameter(s): | All Parameters | Date(s): | 01 Jan. 2009 - onward | Date Posted: | 09 Jan. 2009 |
Description of Change:
A change from 3-min. to 1-min. data collection and processing at SURFRAD stations was made on 8 Jan. 2009, and all data files back to 1 Jan. 2009 were reprocessed to report 1-min. resolution data. This was possible because parallel 3-min. and 1-min. raw data files were collected from all SURFRAD stations since mid-December 2008 in preparation for the change. The new daily SURFRAD data files, beginning on 1 Jan. 2009, have, at most, 1440 lines of data. The 3-min. data files previous to the temporal resolution change have, at most, 480 lines of data. This change was made to conform to standards set by the Baseline Surface Radiation Network, an international organization of which SURFRAD is part of the U.S. contingent. The informational README file that describes the daily SURFRAD data files, available on the SURFRAD FTP site, has been updated accordingly.
Station(s): | Penn State |
Parameter(s): | Photosynthetically active radiation | Date(s): | 11 Oct. 2006 - 28 June 2007 | Date Posted: | 19 July 2007 |
Description of Change:
During the post instrument exchange check of instruments returning from monitoring at Penn State, it was discovered that the PAR quantum sensor that had been used at the Penn State SURFRAD station from 11 Oct. 2006 to 28 June 2007 had a bad calibration value. The effect of the bad calibration value was to produce a PAR irradiance that was about 7% lower than it should have been. On 19 July 2007, that problem was corrected and all Penn State PAR data was recalculated for the affected period (11 Oct. 2006 - 28 June 2007).
Station(s): | Desert Rock, Table Mountain, Goodwin Creek, Penn State and Sioux Falls |
Parameter(s): | Aerosol Optical Depth | Date(s): | Entire Record | Date Posted: | 19 December, 2006 |
Description of Change:
The SURFRAD aerosol optical depth (AOD) product has been changed to include the Angstrom exponent. The Angstrom exponent is computed using the 500-nm and 870-nm channels and is listed in the last column of the SURFRAD AOD data file. The README_AOD.txt file and web plotting routines have been adjusted to include the addition of the Angstrom exponent. The cloud screening has also been improved. All SURFRAD AOD data files for the duration of spectral measurements at the SURFRAD stations were regenerated on Dec. 19, 2006.
Station(s): | Penn State |
Parameter(s): | PAR | Date(s): | 3 September 2006 to 11 October 2006 | Date Posted: | 12 October, 2006 |
Description of Problem:
The PAR Quantum sensor at Penn State slowly lost sensitivity over the period from 3 September through 11 October 2006. That sensor was replaced at 1500 UTC on 11 October 2006. All Penn State PAR data for the affected period were marked with a bad quality control value and rewritten to the archive on 12 October 2006.
Station(s): | Fort Peck, MT |
Parameter(s): | Upwelling Infrared | Date(s): | 13 October 1999 to 27 September 2006 | Date Posted: | 04 October, 2006 |
Description of Problem:
On 27 September 2006 it was discovered that during the annual instrument exchange at the Fort Peck station on 13 October 1999, the upwelling pyrgeometer case and dome temperature connections at the data logger were swapped, but the processing code was not changed to accommodate that switch. On 4 October 2006, this problem was corrected and the Fort Peck data for the affected period were reprocessed. As of 4 October 2006, the Fort Peck upwelling infrared data from 13 October 1999 through 27 September 2006 are correct. (Previously, this same error was found with the downwelling thermal infrared irradiance at Fort Peck and was corrected in January 2005.) As of 4 October 2006, all historical Fort peck infrared data in the SURFRAD data archive are correct.
Errors in the Fort Peck upwelling thermal infrared irradiance that resulted from the reversal of the case and dome temperatures vary with the strength of the irradiance. The average case-dome temperature difference of the tower-mounted pyrgeometer is on the order of 0.1 degrees K, with the dome typically being warmer than the case. During the period that case and dome temperatures of the tower-mounted PIR were reversed, the computed upwelling infrared irradiance was, in most cases, erroneously high.
For example, for a typical summertime upwelling irradiance of 500 Wm^-2, the reversal of the case and dome temperatures would result in an error of +5 Wm^-2. For a 0.2 degree difference, the error would be +10 Wm^-2. For a typical wintertime upwelling irradiance of 300 Wm^-2, the errors for 0.1 and 0.2 degree case-dome temperature differences would be +3 and +6 Wm^2, respectively. Generally, the errors for 0.1 and 0.2 degree case-dome differences are +1% and +2%, respectively.

Description of Problem:
On 7 Sept. 2006, the naming convention for the interpolated rawinsonde soundings file for SURFRAD was changed from dd-mmm-yyyy_hh.int (e.g. 07-sep-2006_12.int) to yyyymmdd_hh.int (e.g. 20060907_12.int for 7 Sept. 2006). The purpose of this change was to make the file name more easily manipulated in programming applications and for chronological file listing. All interpolated sounding files for dates before 7 Sept. 2006 have been renamed according the new filename convention.
Files generated after this date can only be downloaded using the new file name. For soundings predating September 7, the old file names will remain available through then end of December, 2006, at which time all historical and current data will be offered in the new file name structure only.

Parameter(s): | Interpolated rawinsonde soundings' near-surface temperature | Date(s): | Entire record | Date Posted: | 11 Jan, 2006 |
Description of Problem:
In early January 2006, a problem was discovered in the near-surface temperature in the interpolated soundings at SURFRAD locations. Owing to variations in the surface elevation over North America, below-surface extrapolation of the input NWS sounding measurements is necessary to allow for stable horizontal interpolations at the lowest levels. It was discovered that under very stable low-level atmospheric conditions, too much flexibility was allowed in extrapolating below surface temperatures in the NWS soundings. Subsequently, extrapolated below-surface temperatures had the potential be too low. Because the problem occurred only in very stable surface conditions, it primarily affected 1200 UTC soundings. On 11 Jan. 2006, the problem was corrected and the entire SURFRAD interpolated sounding data set was recomputed and replaced in the ftp location.

Parameter(s): | PAR | Date(s): | 25 July to 12 September, 2005 | Date Posted: | 14 Sept, 2005 |
The Quantum sensor at Penn State slowly lost sensitivity over the period from 25 July through 12 September 2005. That sensor was replaced on 13 September 2005. All Penn State PAR data for the affected period were marked with a bad quality control value and rewritten to the archive on 14 September 2005.

Parameter(s): | UVB | Date(s): | Entire record | Date Posted: | 20 June, 2005 |
Description of Problem:
The calibration of a UVB broadband instrument depends on the solar zenith angle, Rayleigh scattering and, the total column ozone overhead. To understand why that is so, refer to the article: "Methodology for deriving clear-sky erythemal calibration factors for UV broadband radiometers of the U.S. Central UV Calibration Facility," by Lantz et al., 1999, published in the Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, vol. 16, 1736-1752. Figure 10a of that paper shows a family of erythemal calibration curves (as a function of the solar zenith angle) for Yankee UVB-1 instruments, with each curve representing differing total ozone amounts. Because we generally don't know the total ozone over a SURFRAD station at the time of the measurements, a nominal value of 300 Dobson units (DU) is assumed in the daily processing. Therefore UVB erythemal data in SURFRAD data files are correct only if the total ozone at the time of the measurement is 300DU. However, total ozone can vary between < 200DU to > 400DU.
The new README file for SURFRAD data files lists an ftp site from which SURFRAD data users can download a file (fit_ystECF_norm_surfrad.txt) that lists a table of coefficients for a third-order polynomial-fit correction equation, as a function of solar zenith angle. The polynomial fit can be used to correct the 300DU-based UVB values reported in SURFRAD data files to the UVB values appropriate the actual total ozone (if known). The table has 89 rows of (4) coefficients; each row corresponds to an integer solar zenith angle from 1 to 89. The table is "normalized" and can be applied to all SURFRAD UVB data. The header records of the file show, in an abbreviated way, how to use the table. Basically, select the row of coefficients corresponding to the solar zenith angle of the measurement, compute the correction factor by applying those coefficients and the actual total ozone, in DU, to the polynomial fit equation, and multiply the resultant correction factor times the 300 DU-based UVB value reported in the SURFRAD data file. Tests have shown that these corrections range between 0 and 5%.
Station(s): | Fort Peck, MT |
Parameter(s): | Downwelling Infrared | Date(s): | 13 October 1999 to 19 January 2005 |
Description of Problem:
On 18 May 2004 it was discovered that during the annual instrument exchange at the Fort Peck station on Oct 13 1999, the downwelling pyrgeometer case and dome temperature connections at the data logger were swapped, but the processing code was not changed to accommodate that switch. On 19 January 2005, this problem was corrected and the Fort Peck data for the affected period were reprocessed. As of 19 January 2005, the Fort Peck downwelling infrared from 13 October 1999 to 18 May 2004 are correct. Errors in the previously reported data (when the case temperature was used as the dome temperature, and vice verse) were on the order of 18 watts per square meter, depending on the dome and case temperatures.
While assessing the extent of the downwelling infrared problem caused by the case-dome swap, an oddity was discovered in the downwelling infrared data at Fort Peck between 10 December 2000 and 24 July 2001 where the case thermistor of the downwelling pyrgeometer lost sensitivity. A comprehensive analysis of the case and dome temperatures of the downwelling pyrgeometer showed that during that 8-month period the dome temperature was correct and the case thermistor was reading about 3-5 deg. K low. The case temperatures during that period were discarded. Using periods when the case and dome temperatures were known to be good, a linear relationship was established between the case-dome temperature difference and the thermopile reading of the affected downwelling pyrgeometer. That relationship was applied to the dome temperature and thermopile reading of the pyrgeometer during the erroneous 8-month period to compute artificial case temperatures. The corrected case temperatures were then used to recompute the downwelling thermal infrared for the period that the case temperature was bad. Comparisons with downwelling infrared data before and after this correction showed no discontinuity. Errors in the downwelling infrared associated with the use of artificially generated case temperatures were computed to be less than +/- 0.1 W/m2 at the 95% confidence level. The data from this 8-month period (10 December 2000 and 24 July, 2001) were also corrected and entered into the data record on January 19th, 2005.
Station(s): | All |
Parameter(s): | UVB (improved) | Date(s): | 24 Sept. 1997 to 2 Sept. 2004 |
Description of Problem:
The SURFRAD processing code has been improved to interpolate UVB calibration values to the date being processed.
Field UVB instruments are calibrated by transferring an ensemble calibration of three standard UVB broadband instruments, as a function of the solar zenith angle, to the field instrument. Particular field instruments are related to the ensemble UVB standards' triad through a scale factor that is determined before an instrument is deployed. The three UVB standard instruments are calibrated opportunistically when a UV spectroradiometer intercomparison is held at Table Mountain.about every three years. The standards' calibration applied to a particular field instrument, for a particular day, is now interpolated using the standards' calibrations from the two nearest intercomparisons. Prior to the use of interpolation, the most recent UVB standards' calibration before the day being processed was used for that day.
On September 2, 2004, the SURFRAD data set from 24 Sept. 1997 to 2 Sept. 2004 was reprocessed using the improved UVB data processing algorithm. If you use SURFRAD UVB data, please download the improved daily data files.
Station(s): | Bondville, IL |
Parameter(s): | Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) | Date(s): | 14 July 2004 through 23 August, 2004 |
Description of Problem:
After a period of power problems and extended rain in mid-July at the Bondville, IL SURFRAD station, the sensitivity of the PAR instrument slowly dropped. This subtle decline was noticed by examining the behavior of the global SW to PAR ratio. It is suspected that the persistent rain caused the inside of the instrument to get wet. On August 24, the quantum sensor at Bondville was replaced, and the diagnostic ratio returned to normal values. On 27 August, 2004, the Bondville data from 14 July through 23 August, 2004, was reprocessed to change the quality control parameter of the PAR data to "bad" for the affected five-week period.
Station(s): | Goodwin Creek, MS |
Parameter(s): | All Data | Date(s): | 16 July 2004 to 26 August 2004 |
Description of Problem:
In mid-July, 2004, a power problem at the Goodwin Creek SURFRAD station prevented communication and data logging. After several failed attempts to fix the problem remotely by exchanging power supply, data logging and communication components on a piecemeal basis, SRRB personnel traveled to Mississippi to troubleshoot the problem. The culprit was found to be a short circuit (caused by a lightning strike) in the temperature and RH probe that caused the probe to drain the data logger's power. Because that instrument had been replaced earlier in the summer, it was not suspected during the remote troubleshooting. After the temperature and RH probe was replaced, stable power returned to the data logger and normal data collection resumed on 26 August 2004.
Station(s): | Fort Peck, MT |
Parameter(s): | Downwelling Infrared | Date(s): | 24 July, 2001 to 18 May, 2004 |
Description of Problem:
After a lightning strike in July, 2001, during repairs to the Fort Peck station, the downwelling pyrgeometer case and dome temperature connections at the data logger were accidentally swapped. The problem was discovered on May 18th, 2004. The data from the affected period were corrected and entered into the data record on May 19th, 2004. Errors in the previously reported data were on the order of 18 watts per square meter, depending on the dome and case temperatures.
Station(s): | All |
Parameter(s): | Diffuse solar, net solar, UVB | Date(s): | Entire Record |
Description of Problem:
All SURFRAD data from the beginning of each station.s tenure through February 19, 2004 have been reprocessed. New daily data files for this period are now in the anonymous FTP directories. The monthly averages and daily clear-sky identification files for each station.s tenure have also been recomputed. Several improvements have been made.
First, all diffuse data prior to the use of Eppley 8-48 pyranometers for the diffuse measurement in 2001, have been corrected for an offset that results from infrared cooling of the thermopile sensor that produces an erroneous negative value at night and an analogous offset during the day. The correction scheme followed the logic documented in Dutton et al., 2001, J. Atmos. and Ocean Tech., 18, 297-314, where a relationship is developed that relates the nighttime diffuse solar offset to the thermopile output of a collocated pyrgeometer. That relationship was then applied to all of the data, including daytime, for the duration of diffuse instrument.s tenure. The global solar measurement has a similar offset, but a reliable way to correct that data has yet to be determined. Therefore, the best estimate of total solar downward radiation flux from SURFRAD data is the component sum (direct*cos(SZA) + diffuse). The global solar measurement from the single pyranometer is considered redundant to that and should only be used if the direct and diffuse measurements are not available.
Second, the way that net solar radiation is computed has been improved to include twilight measurements of diffuse radiation. For the prior net solar calculation, all downward solar radiation was set to zero after the solar zenith angle exceeded 90 degrees. In the improved method, direct is set to zero for +90 degree solar zenith angles, but the diffuse value is zeroed after civil twilight ends. Again, this modification of the data is only done for the net solar calculation, and not to the recorded direct and diffuse data.
Third, the way that the SURFRAD broadband UVB instruments are calibrated has been improved. Before going to the field, the SURFRAD UVB instruments are calibrated by comparing them to three UVB standards at our Table Mountain Calibration Facility. Those standards are carefully calibrated using data from UV spectroradiometer intercomparisons held at Table Mountain. Before, only standards. calibrations for 1994 and 1997 were available. Therefore the 1997 calibrations were applied to all SURFRAD UVB data from 1997 through the present. Recently, the standards. calibrations for the 2003 intercomparison were released. A routine that interpolates the UV calibration values between the standards. calibration benchmarks was added to the SURFRAD data processing algorithm. The result is that all SURFRAD UVB data from 1995 to the present has the best possible calibrations applied, resulting in more accurate UVB SURFRAD data.
Last, a small error in file handling that resulted in one three-minute period to be missing from each daily SURFRAD data file has been fixed.
Station(s): | Penn State |
Parameter(s): | upwelling IR, net IR | Date(s): | Dec. 5 2000 to Jul. 16, 2001, and Jul. 26, 2001 to Aug. 29, 2001 |
Description of Problem:
The case temperature of the tower pyrgeometer was found to be bad during these periods. This resulted in a bad upwelling infrared calculation. To fix the problem, we set the case temperature equal to the dome temperature in the processing code for these periods. We then reprocessed the Penn State data on Oct. 28, 2002, and inserted the reprocessed data into the SURFRAD ftp archive.
Station(s): | Bondville, Fort Peck, Goodwin Creek, Table Mt., Desert Rock, Penn State |
Parameter(s): | net solar, total net | Date(s): | Entire record |
Description of Problem:
Improvements to the processing code that enable a better calculation of net solar radiation have been implemented. Before this change, net solar radiation was computed using the global solar measurement as the downwelling component. If that parameter was missing, net solar, and thus total net radiation, was reported as missing. Now, net solar is computed using total solar (direct + diffuse) as the primary downwelling solar quantity, and if either direct or diffuse is missing, the global solar measurement is then used to compute net solar calculation.
All data from the time shaded pyranometers were added to the SURFRAD stations to July 4, 2002 (the date when the improved code became operational) were reprocessed. This was finished on July 22, 2002. The only effects on the data files are that the net solar and net radiation have been changed. No other variables have been affected.
Station(s): | Fort Peck, Penn State, Desert Rock, Table Mt. |
Parameter(s): | various | Date(s): | July 6,7,8, 2001 |
Description of Problem:
On the weekend of July 6-8, lightning struck the Fort Peck, Desert Rock, and Table Mountain SURFRAD stations. Lightning also struck the Penn State station on June 30. Fort Peck sustained major damage to the data logging system, communications, and several instruments. The TSI and NIP at Desert Rock were damaged, and the upwelling PIR at Penn State was lost. There was only a power outage at Table Mountain--no instruments were damaged. All stations were back to normal operations by July 25, 2001
Station(s): | All stations |
Parameter(s): | Upwelling infrared | Date(s): | Beginning of each station to Dec. 6, 2000 |
Description of Problem:
On Dec. 6, 2000, we discovered that the downwelling pyrgeometer calibration factors were being applied to the upwelling pyrgeometer as well as the downwelling pyrgeometer. Since the temperature of the instrument is the largest signal, and the calibration factors for the thermopile and dome correction do not vary much among PIR instruments, the effect of this error in the upwelling PIR processing has only a very small impact. However, this problem was corrected, and all data from the beginning of the network to Dec. 6, 2000 were reprocessed with the correct calibration sequence. As of Dec. 22, 2000, all of the ftp directories have corrected SURFRAD data files.
Station(s): | Desert Rock |
Parameter(s): | Upwelling infrared | Date(s): | Sept. 18, 1999 to May 1, 2000 |
Description of Problem:
A severe electrical storm on Sept 18, 1999 ruined the thermopile on the tower-mounted pyrgeometer (that measures upwelling infrared irradiance) at Desert Rock, NV. The case and dome thermistors survived the strike. Since the thermopile signal of a pyrgeometer is small relative to that contributed by the instrument's thermistors, the erroneous upwelling infrared data were not noticed by the SURFRAD network operators. Thus the upwelling infrared data from Desert Rock from Sept. 18, 1999 to May 1, 2000 had to be flagged.
This change was made on May 10, 2000. As of that date, updated files have been resident on the SRRB ftp site. Please replace any Desert Rock files from Sept. 18, 1999 through May 1, 2000 (that you may have downloaded prior to May 10, 2000) with those currently on the ftp site.
Station(s): | Bondville, Fort Peck, Goodwin Creek, Table Mountain |
Parameter(s): | UVB | Date(s): | Jan. 1 to Apr. 24, 2000 |
Description of Problem:
On April 26, 2000, a problem was discovered with the operational UVB data processing for the Bondville, Fort Peck, Goodwin Creek, and Table Mountain SURFRAD stations from January 1, 2000 through April 24, 2000. The UVB irradiance values reported during that period for those stations were twice as large as they should have been. This has been corrected. On April 27, 2000, all data files from Jan. 1 through Apr. 24, 2000 for the four affected stations, were replaced with corrected files.
Station(s): | Table Mountain |
Parameter(s): | upwelling infrared | Date(s): | Feb. 28 to Apr. 14, 2000 |
Description of Problem:
On April 14, 2000, it was noticed that the tower pyrgeometer (that measures upwelling IR irradiance) at the Table Mountain SURFRAD station had been having intermittent problems for over a month. The upwelling IR for the period from Feb. 28 to April 14 were checked and edited appropriately on April 14. All necessary changes to the SURFRAD data files were made on that day and replaced in the archive. Also, the tower pyrgeometer was replaced on April 14.
Station(s): | Bondville |
Parameter(s): | upwelling PSP, UVB, temperature, RH, and pressure | Date(s): | July 26, 1999 |
Description of Problem:
During the annual instrument exchange at the Bondville SURFRAD station, which took place on July 20-22, 1999, all problems caused by the June 4, 1999 lightning strike were fixed. Many of these problems were traced to the data logger. As part of this year's instrument exchange, the entire data logging and communication system was replaced. The solar tracker was also found to be out of alignment and that was corrected during the exchange. Now all instruments at the Bondville station are reporting correctly.
Station(s): | Bondville |
Parameter(s): | upwelling PSP, UVB, temperature, RH, and pressure | Date(s): | June 4 - July 22, 1999 |
Description of Problem:
June 11, 1999
All data after the lightning strike on June 4, through June 7 were lost. By shifting connections on the data logger from blown channels to good ones, we were able to record data from all of the instruments. At that point it was determined that the pyranometer on the tower (measuring upwelling solar radiation) was damaged, and the barometer and temperature and relative humidity probe were destroyed. The UVB radiometer is now not heating properly, however the data are being recorded. Since the instrument is not at the correct temperature, the UVB irradiance values are being assigned bad QC flags. The station will be brought back to normal as soon as possible.
Station(s): | ALL six stations |
Parameter(s): | all UVB, 1 PSP at GWN, 1 PAR at BON | Date(s): | 1 Jan. 1995 through 12 April 1999 |
Description of Problem:
April 23, 1999
The entire SURFRAD data set has been reprocessed and new files have been generated. Changes include an improvement of the UVB algorithm and corrections of two calibration factors that were mistakenly used for two instruments, a PAR at Bondville (5/21/97-6/19/98), and a Goodwin Creek upwelling pyranometer (1/1/95-4/10/96).
As of the date of this notice (4/23/99), all SURFRAD data files in the ftp directories have been replaced with reprocessed data, and the README files have been updated.
Background information:
The UVB processing has been improved to compute UVB Diffey-weighted irradiance as a function of solar zenith angle. Also, calibration factors derived annually from standard instruments at SRRB's Central UV Calibration Facility have been retroactively applied to the network UVB instruments. Prior to this, a factory supplied calibration calibration factor for a representative solar zenith angle (40 degrees) was applied to the entire day's data.
It was discovered that the wrong calibration factor was applied to the PAR at Bondville for the period 5/21/97 to 6/19/98. The calibration factor mistakenly applied to the data was -274.54. The correct factor is -281.13; this value was applied in the reprocessing of the data.
A similar problem was found regarding the first upwelling pyranometer deployed at Goodwin Creek. The sensitivity factor mistakenly used was 8.620. It should have been entered as 8.260. The affected period is from Jan. 1, 1995 to April 10, 1996. This too has been fixed.
The entire reprocessed SURFRAD data set is now available from the SURFRAD ftp directories. All of the old files have been replaced. In the process of doing this exercise, all other calibration factors applied over the history of the SURFRAD Network have been verified to be correct.
Station(s): | Fort Peck |
Parameter(s): | UVB | Date(s): | 24 Sept 1997 through 26 Oct 1997 |
Description of Problem:
Fort Peck UV data have been reprocessed for the period Sept. 24, 1997 through Oct. 26, 1997, inclusive. The UV data during that period were erroneously reported as twice the magnitude that it should have been. The voltage divider circuit formerly used on this signal was removed on Sept. 23, 1997 during the annual instrument exchange. The real-time processing code for Fort Peck was not changed until October 27, 1997. This has been corrected as of 13 November 1998.
Station(s): | Goodwin Creek only |
Parameter(s): | Relative Humidity | Date(s): | 20 July 1997 through 02 June 1998 |
Description of Problem:
The replacement relative humidity (RH) chip installed at Goodwin during the 1997 maintenance and instrument exchange (on 7/10/97) was found to be faulty. All RH data from July 10, 1997 through June 2, 1998 (date of the 1998 instrument exchange) are erroneously low. Goodwin Creek data for this period were reprocessed and re-inserted into the archive on October 5, 1998. The RH values were retained in the processed data files, but they were flagged with bad QC values.
Background information on this problem:
The Campbell Scientific 207 temperature and RH sensor was originally installed at the first four SURFRAD stations. Subsequently, it was learned that the RH measuring ability of these sensors degraded within a year, and in regions of high humidity, the degradation rate was greatest. This presented a problem because SURFRAD stations are typically visited by SRRB representatives only once per year for the annual maintenance and instrument exchange. To remedy this, the 207 sensors were replaced with Campbell Scientific CS500 sensors, which have RH chips that are designed to last for two years. Those for Table Mountain and Fort Peck were replaced on 8/26/97 and 9/23/97, respectively. Those at Bondville and Goodwin Creek were replaced on 6/19/98 and 6/2/98, respectively. The two new stations at Desert Rock and Penn State were originally equipped with the CS500 probes.
For added quality assurance, the CS500 RH chips will be replaced annually, even though they are designed for a two-year deployment.
Station(s): | Desert Rock, Penn State |
Parameter(s): | Calculated Solar Zenith Angles | Date(s): | Installation through 04 August 1998 |
Description of Problem:
An error was found in the solar zenith angle calculation in the processing programs for the new PENN STATE and DESERT ROCK SURFRAD stations. Any data files from these stations downloaded before August 4, 1998 have erroneous solar zenith angles. No irradiance or meteorological parameters were affected by this error. The Desert Rock SURFRAD record started on March 16, 1998, and the Penn State SURFRAD record began on June 29, 1998.
As of August 4, 1998, all affected files have been replaced by corrected files in the SURFRAD anonymous FTP directories. If you downloaded any of these files before August 4, please download the files again.
