| Description: | Soil heat flow sensor #5 periodically outputted incorrect values from
mid-August 1994 until mid-January 1995. The output often indicated large
negative heat flow. The sensor was replaced on January 23, 1995, even
though the previous week of data was correct. The data affected (and thus
incorrect) includes:
15 minute: mv_hft5
30 minute: shf5, c_shf5, g5, ave_shf, e, h.
The dates and times (GMT) of incorrect values are listed below. Only half
hour times are listed.

The latent and sensible heat fluxes can be recalculated by using only soil
heat flows 1 through 4 to calculate the average soil heat flow,
ave_shf = (g1 + g2 + g3 + g4)/4
e = -(q + ave_shf)/(1 + bowen)
h = -(e + ave_shf + q) |
