SGP/SWATS/E13 - Sensor failure, trise 5cm W
DataStreams:sgpswatsE13.b1
Description:
The trise variable for the west 5 cm sensor fails to respond to precipitation events as 
expected. It has remained constant since June 2011. Something may have broken in the sensor 
itself. 

The tsoil variable appears to perform fine for this sensor.
Suggestions: 
Use the 5cm E profile sensor
Measurements:sgpswatsE13.b1:
  • Soil water potential, west profile(soilwatpot_w)
  • Volumetric water content, west profile(watcont_w)
  • Sensor temperature rise, west profile(trise_w)
  • Fractional water index, west profile(fwi_w)
