SGP/EBBR/E22 - Reprocess: Soil Heat Flow Sensor 4 Incorrect Data

Soil heat flow sensor #4 periodically output incorrect values during the 
period indicated.  The output often indicated large negative heat flow.  The
sensor was replaced on March 19, 1996, which corrected the problem.  The data 
affected (and thus incorrect) includes:

15 minute: mv_hft4
30 minute: shf4, c_shf4, g4, ave_shf, e, h.

The dates and times (GMT) of incorrect values are listed below.  Only half 
hour data times are listed.

The latent and sensible heat fluxes can be recalculated by using only soil
heat flows 1, 2, 3, and 5 to calculate the average soil heat flow,

ave_shf = (g1 + g2 + g3 + g5)/4
e = -(q + ave_shf)/(1 + bowen)
h = -(e + ave_shf + q)
