SGP/SWATS/E18 - Incorrect and missing measurements
DataStreams:sgpswatsE18.00, sgpswatsE18.b1
Description:
There is an erroneous measurement at 2052Z on the 11th. All obs should be disregarded and 
probably should be deleted from the file.

tsoil_W:
From 1007Z on the 7th to 1707Z on the 9th: tsoil_W data is missing or incorrect at the 5cm 
depth. From 1807 on the 9th to 1807 on the 10th, tsoil_W is completely missing and/or 
incorrect. From 1907 on the 10th to 2007 on the 11th, correct tsoil_W data is available 
except for missing data at the 15cm depth.

trise_W:
All trise_W data is incorrect or missing from 1007Z on the 7th to 1807Z on the 10th. From 
1907 on the 10th to 2007 on the 11th, trise_W data is missing at the 15cm depth.

tsoil_E:
From 1007 on the 7th to 1907 on the 9th, trise_E data is missing or incorrect except at 
the 5cm depth. From 2007 on the 9th to 1907 on the 10th, tsoil_E data is missing.

trise_E:
From 1007 on the 7th to 1907 on the 10th, trise_E data is missing or incorrect.

SGP/SWATS/E20 - Incorrect Soil Moisture Data
DataStreams:sgpswatsE20.00, sgpswatsE20.b1
Description:
Due to failure of an electronic component (apparently caused by the onset of 
precipitation), the temperature rise readings from both the west and east profiles (trise_W, trise_E) 
are incorrect at all depths. This also causes the matric potential (soilwatpot_W, 
soilwatpot_E) and water content (watcont_W, watcont_E) data to be incorrect.
Measurements:sgpswatsE20.b1:
  • Volumetric Water Content, East Profile(watcont_E)
  • Volumetric Water Content, West Profile(watcont_W)
  • Soil Water Potential, West Profile(soilwatpot_W)

DataStreams:sgpswatsE20.b1
Description:
The dimension "depth" in the netCDF files was incorrectly reported as 8, and has been 
changed. Newer files with the correct smaller depth dimension do not have extra placeholder 
values and thus are smaller in size.
