SGP/EBBR/E22 - Air Temperature Sensor malfunction
DataStreams:sgp30ebbrE22.b1, sgp15ebbrE22.b1, sgp5ebbrE22.b1
Description:
The right air temperature probe (thermocouple) malfunctioned during the
periods stated above at Cordell, OK (E22).  It was replaced on December 21,
1993 and good data began again with the 1830 GMT half hour average.  For the
periods of interest, 5 and 30 minute values of tair_top and tair_bot are
incorrect when the right probe was in the specified position; 15 minute values of
tair_r are incorrect; and 30 minute values of bowen, e, and h are incorrect.  None of
these values are recoverable or recalculatable through the use of other
quantities since both air temperature probes are needed to determine bowen
ratio.
