Subject:
SGP/EBBR/E2 - EBBR Net Radiometer Domes Pierced, Water Inside - Data Affected
DataStreams:sgp5ebbrE2.b1, sgp30ebbrE2.b1, sgp15ebbrE2.b1
Description:
The upper dome of the EBBR net radiometers was punctured.
After the puncture, water collected in the top and/or bottom dome.  The
water was removed and the dome was replaced during PM visits. 

 In some cases, the puncture and water resulted in incorrect data. 
Comparison with net radiation values from surrounding EBBR sites and the
SIRS is neccesary to determine if the EBBR net radiation data 
are correct or incorrect.

It is often difficult to tell from the data when the punctures occurred,
but they would have existed for no more than 2 weeks, since the domes
are checked during each two-weekly PM visit.

Incorrect net radiation data results in the latent heat flux and
sensible heat flux also being incorrect.
