Subject:
SGP/E9/EBBR - AEM Malfunction
DataStreams:sgp5ebbrE9.b1, sgp30ebbrE9.b1
Description:
EDITOR'S NOTE:  This DQR refers, in part, to data collected prior to the
begin date of regular ARM data.  During the first month covered by this
DQR, the EBBR.E9 data were not archived with standard ARM names.  The data
are therefore not readily available, but can be made available by special
request.  The total period covered by the problem documented here is
930615.0000-940322.1643.

The AEM at E9 frequently did not function properly during the time period
stated.  Please see the notes in the EBBR platform describing home signal
conditions for which certain of the data fields are suspect.  The newly
installed AEM is performing properly so far.

The files could be flagged, but it is up to the user to read the
platform notes concerning the condition of the home signal and then
view the quality of the data accordingly.  I would be at my terminal full-
time in attempting to list all days and times and data fields that are
affected by the numerous AEM malfunctions.  Furthermore, I have done so
previously in several PIFs that I will reference here for information:
P931101.4, P931115.2, P940105.2, P940211.3

  • AEM position indicator 0 to 15 mins(home_signal_15)
  • Top T/RH sensor temperature(temp_trh_top)
  • Surface latent heat flux(latent_heat_flux)
  • Top air temperature(temp_air_top)
  • Top relative humidity (fractional)(rh_top_fraction)
  • AEM position indicator 15 to 30 mins(home_signal_30)
  • Bottom relative humidity (fractional)(rh_bottom_fraction)
  • Surface sensible heat flux(sensible_heat_flux)
