Comment:

On 4 August a new tracker was installed, but there were several problems with it, resulting in large periods without direct and diffuse radiation. Downward longwave radiation for these periods is measured without shadowing the sun. The temperature sensor of the pyrgeometer was defect from 16 August. From this date LWD radiation is missing.
