| Summary: | The MFRSR and the PIR have been deployed at the Geo-physical Institute in Fairbanks to check their performance under arctic conditions. Drawing on the experience of the previous measurements in the Arctic, the PIR was equipped with a ventilator to prevent the build-up of frost and moisture on the its dome. We adopted the Solar Infrared (IR) Observing System (SIROS) concept from the Southern Great Plains Atmos-pheric Radiation Measurement Site to allow implementa-tion of the same data processing software for a set of radiation and meteorological instruments. The ongoing work is focused on practical problems and is in the stage of testing the sensors and data acquisition system. To validate the level of performance of the whole SIROS prior to its incorporation into the North Slope of Alaska (NSA) Cloud and Radiation Testbed Site instrumental suite for flux radiation measurements, the comparison between measurements and model predictions will be undertaken to assess the MFRSR- PIR Arctic data quality. |
