SGP/SMOS/E13 - Reprocess: Wind speed calibrations
DataStreams:sgp1smosE13.a0, sgp30smosE13.a1
Description:
EDITOR'S NOTE:  The earliest portion of the period of time covered
by this DQR occurred prior to the begin date of regular ARM data.
Those data are not readily available from the ARM Archive but are
available by special request.  The actual period of time covered
by this DQR is 930329.0000-930812.1430.


Practically all of the information in this DQR is derived from
P930723.1 and C930830.1, both of which were submitted by Dick Hart. 

The calibrations initially used for wind speeds on SMOS systems at 
Coldwater (E8), Ashton (E9), the central faciality (E13), Ringwood (E15),
and Meeker (E20) were originally "generic"values, but analysis of the 
N.I.S.T traceable calibration data reveals that use of these "generic" 
calibrations produces data with insufficient accuracy. The calibrations 
for the wind speed sensor associated with the instrument must be used 
in the datalogger program in order to obtain data with a 1% uncertainty.
For the worst case, one wind speed sensor underestimates the wind speed 
by 1.1 m/s at 30 m/s when the "generic" calibration is used.  This is 
on top of the 1% calibration uncertainty.  

No unreported data loss occurred as a result of this calibration question, 
but users of the data should adjust the wind speed values before analysis 
involving these wind speed values.

Description:
Beginning around 1415 UTC on 08/30, the RH readings for
this instrument were frequently around 0 (sometimes
there are erratic spikes upward from 0 for periods of

erroneous readings, as the instrument appeared to fail
in and around the time of heavy rains.

A maintenance visit occurred on 09/04, afterwards data
returned to normal values.

SGP/SMOS/E13 - T/RH sensor failure
DataStreams:sgp1440smosE13.b1, sgp1smosE13.b1, sgp30smosE13.b1
Description:
The T/RH sensor began to fail at high RH% values.  Since this site has an aspirated 
radiation shield, values in excess of the 104% manufacturer limit are not expected to occur due 
to rain or condensation.

SGP/SMOS/E13 - Error in Snow Depth Output
DataStreams:sgp1440smosE13.a0, sgp30smosE13.a1
Description:
Dick Hart of ANL proposed a change in the frequency of sampling of snow 
depth by the SMOS, to obtain a more accurate measurement.  He modified the 
SMOS CR10 program in December 1995 but did not have the opportunity to ask for 
it to be implemented.  In January, acting in Dick's behalf, I forwarded the 
changes to site operations, along with a Baseline Change Request (BCR).  The 
changes were implemented in the Central Facility (E13) SMOS only on 29 January 
1996 for testing.  Within a few days it was clear that the snow depth 
measurement was not being made properly.  The common outputs for snowdepth 
were 0.0 or 895.0 (895.0 data is incorrect).  I reviewed the CR10 program and 
found that some further changes were needed.  I then submitted these 
changes to site operations along with another BCR.  The changes were 
implemented in the CF SMOS only on 6 March 1996.  Snowdepth data since that
date has been correct.  The program changes can now be implemented in the 
other SMOS CR10s; the changes will be transparent to the data user.

SGP/SMOS/E13 - Questionable data
DataStreams:sgp1440smosE13.a0, sgp1smosE13.a0, sgp30smosE13.a1
Description:
The values of relative humidity reported by the SMOS at E13 between 
18 NOV 96 and 1930 GMT on 30 JAN 97 are too high.  Saturation values
of 104% to 105% have been reported during this period.  A 6-month 
Verification Check was made on 18 NOV 96 and the SMOS probe did not
agree with the reference at that time.  The SMOS probe was finally 
replaced on 30 JAN 97.  Data reported since that time appears reasonable.

SGP/SMOS/E13 - T/RH Probe Malfunction
DataStreams:sgp1440smosE13.a0, sgp1smosE13.a0, sgp30smosE13.a1
Description:
When the SMOS E13 T/RH probe was replaced on 30 JAN 97, it

SGP/SMOS/E13 - Questionable E13 SMOS humidity data APR - NOV 95
DataStreams:sgp1440smosE13.a0, sgp1smosE13.00, sgp30smosE13.a1
Description:
When the E13 SMOS naturally aspirated radiation shield was replaced with a fan aspirated 
radiation shield on 14 APR 95 at 2030 GMT, the new shield was not adequately sealed to 
prevent penetration of water, whether from rain or from dew, from entering the radiation 
shield and causing incorrect humidity data.

After numerous attempts, the radiation shield was successfully sealed early in NOV 95.
Separate DQR's have been issued for humidity data that was obviously erroneous, but on 
numerous occasions during that period the humidity data has looked suspicious (e.g., see PIF 
P960624.1).

Therefore, all humidity data reported by the E13 SMOS during that period should be 
considered questionable.
