Comment:

On 5, 7, 8, 27, and 28 October the tracker was not working properly or stopped for maintenance, resulting in a few gaps for DIR and DIF radiation.LWD radiation during these periods is measured without shadowing the sun. The pyranometer for SWD GLOBAL radiation has a small scratch on the dome, resulting in higher values at low solar elevation: GLOB/(DIR+DIF) > 1.08 for angles below 26 degree. The thermopile of the pyrgeometer was defect until 8 October. LWD radiation until 8 October 12:52 UTC therefore missing.
