Subject: | SGP/EBBR/E18 - Pressure Low |
DataStreams: | sgp5ebbrE18.b1, sgp30ebbrE18.b1
|
Description: | Pressure readings suddenly dropped to unrealistic levels.
Sensible Heat Flux was underestimated and Latent Heat Flux
was overestimated because of this problem. |
Suggestions: | Use the pressure readings from the SMOS at E21 (very near E18) to correct
the sensible and latent heat fluxes, as follows:
Corrected Sensible Heat Flux = SMOS/EBBR pressure * Sensible Heat Flux
Corrected Latent Heat Flux = EBBR/SMOS pressure * Latent Heat Flux
These are approximations with about 1% error. |
Measurements: | sgp30ebbrE18.b1: - Bowen ratio(bowen_ratio)
- Surface latent heat flux(latent_heat_flux)
- Surface sensible heat flux(sensible_heat_flux)
- Atmospheric pressure(atmos_pressure)
