Subject:
SGP/SWATS/E12 - Incorrect soil moisture
DataStreams:sgpswatsE12.b1
Description:
Temperature rise values were way to high (~40 deg C).  Water potential is calculated from 
a rise (and subsequent drop) in temperature in the sensor that is normally ~1-5 degrees 
C.  When the temperature rise is too high, the soil moisture data is dubious at best and 
unusable at worst.  Since this "out-of-bounds" t_rise is so high, the soil moisture data 
are practically unusable.

Soil temperature measurements were not affected.
