SGP/EBBR/E4 - Soil Moisture Probes Offscale

During numerous periods within the days listed above, individual soil
moisture probes indicated high or offscale, on the dry side.  The
calibration of the probes in Plevna soil by REBS was inadequate to
provide reliable soil moisture data. 

The data should be carefully inspected before use: soil moistures
less than 3 should be considered incorrect; recalculation of ave_shf 
e, and h may be made using only the soil moisture sets with valid
soil moisture values.

Affected data values are (# represents probe number):

15 minute: rr_sm#
30 minute: sm#, c_shf#, cs#, ces#, g#, ave_shf, e, h

Sensible, latent, and soil heat fluxes can be recalculated using the soil
probe sets that provide correct data.  For example, if soil moisture 1 is
incorrect:

ave_shf = (g2 + g3 + g4 + g5)/4
e = -(q + ave_shf)/(1 +bowen)
h = -(e + ave_shf +q)

Recalculate sensible, latent, and soil heat fluxes using the appropriate
equations whenever one or more of the soil moisture values are reported as
less than 3.
