Comment:
Until 7 September the tracker was not working properly, 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 radiation has a small scratch on the dome, resulting in higher values at low solar elevation: SWD/(DIR+DIF) > 1.08 for angles below 15 degree. The temperature sensor of the pyrgeometer was defect from 16 August. From this date LWD radiation is missing.
