| Description: | During parts of three days, soil temperature probe #4 indicated values
that were either too high or too low, for unknown reasons. Site
Operations personnel checked connections and repacked the soil around the
probe on 21 July at about 1535 GMT, although ts4 had recovered to proper
values the previous day.
The times of incorrect data and the affected quantities are shown below.
Some of the ts4 values during the listed periods appear to be correct,
although the change in energy storage values appear to indicate otherwise.
18 July: 0400-1400 GMT
19 July: 0430-0500, 0730-1500 GMT
29 July: 0700-1630 GMT
15 minute: rr_ts4
30 minute: ts4, ces4, g4, ave_shf, e, h
Sensible, latent, and soil heat fluxes need to be recalculated using the
change in energy storage of probes 1-3 and 5, as follows.
ave_shf = (g1 + g2 + g3 + g5)/4
e = -(q + ave_shf)/(1 +bowen)
h = -(e + ave_shf +q) |
