Subject:
SGP/EBBR/E19 - Soil Temperatures #2 and #3 Intermittently Bad
DataStreams:sgp30ebbrE19.b1
Description:
Soil Temperatures #2 and #3 were intermittently incorrect.
#3 appeared to be okay after the J-panel was replaced. 
#2 continues to be flaky, suggesting that the sensor
itself has a problem.  A DQPR has been submitted to
replace #2.  The indicated measurements 
that are calculated using soil temperature are 
also suspect.  However, the intermittent problems normally
occurred during night times and were fairly small in magnitude,
thereby having little effect on the sensible and latent heat fluxes.
Suggestions: 
Measurements:sgp30ebbrE19.b1:
  • Surface soil heat flux, average of fluxes 1-5(surface_soil_heat_flux_avg)
  • Change in energy storage 3, 0-5 cm soil layer(energy_storage_change_3)
  • Change in energy storage 2, 0-5 cm soil layer(energy_storage_change_2)
  • Soil temperature mean 3(soil_temp_3)
  • Surface sensible heat flux(sensible_heat_flux)
  • Surface latent heat flux(latent_heat_flux)
  • Surface soil heat flux 3(surface_soil_heat_flux_3)
  • Soil temperature 2(soil_temp_2)
  • Surface soil heat flux 2(surface_soil_heat_flux_2)
