Subject:
SGP/ECOR/E16 - Failed IRGA
DataStreams:sgp30ecorE16.b1
Description:
The infrared gas analyzer (IRGA) failed on Nov. 2, 2004, 02:00; the system continued to 
operate without H2O and CO2 data until Nov. 9, 2004, 15:30; then it stopped due to another 
hardware failure. The system was returned to service on Nov. 12, 2004, 18:00.

The latent heat flux and CO2 flux data are irrevocably lost for the period from Nov. 2, 
2004, 02:00 to Nov. 12, 2004, 18:00.
