SGP/EBBR/E9 - Hail Damage to Net Radiometer and Wind Speed Sensor
DataStreams:sgp5ebbrE9.b1, sgp30ebbrE9.b1, sgp15ebbrE9.b1
Description:
Golf ball size hail was reported for the Ashton site for early August 20,
1994.  It damaged the wind speed sensor and the net radiometer shortly
before 0130 GMT.  The following data fields are to be flagged as incorrect
for the periods listed above (resultant wind speed has already been
indicated as incorrect in a previous DQR that documented the malfunction of
the wind direction sensor):

5 minute:  wind_s, res_ws, q

15 minute: wind_s, mv_q

30 minute: wind_s, res_ws, q, h, e.

Note that h and e are also incorrect as a consequence of q being incorrect.
