SGP/EBBR/E39 - EBBR Flux Measurements Sometimes Incorrect for Southerly Winds
DataStreams:sgp30ebbrE39.b1
Description:
When the wheat was at it's peak and for southerly winds, the EBBR flux measurements 
reflected combined fluxes from both the grass between the EBBR and the wheat and the wheat 
itself.

The EBBR AEM height was not high enough to capture fluxes from just the wheat for 
southerly wind directions.

EBBR fluxes for northerly directions (from grass) were consistent with the ECOR measured 
fluxes.

The EBBR AEM was raised on 2 Aug 2016 and fluxes from southerly directions have been 
similar to those from the ECOR since then.
Suggestions: 
Use ECOR fluxes for questionable southerly wind cases during this period.
Measurements:sgp30ebbrE39.b1:
  • Surface latent heat flux(latent_heat_flux)
  • Surface sensible heat flux(sensible_heat_flux)
  • Bowen ratio(bowen_ratio)
