Subject:
SGP/EBBR/E27 - Soil Moisture #5 Incorrect
DataStreams:sgp30ebbrE27.b1
Description:
The wrong CR10 program loaded from the storage module on 9/15/04.  During the previous 
change of program, an attempt was made to store the new program in the storage module; site 
ops techs did not notice that this attempt failed, leaving the old program in the storage 
module.  When power was cyled on 9/15/04, the old program with flat sm5 coefficients 
loaded into the CR10.  The "flat" coefficients resulted in the sm5 soil moisture hovering 
around 30%.

15 minute raw sm5 resistances were correct.

Average soil heat flow, sensible heat flux, and latent heat flux were not
significantly affected and so are not included in the list of incorrect measurements.
Suggestions: 
The primary measurements of sensible and latent heat flux were not significantly 

affected (well below the 10% system error).
