SGP/SWATS/E13 - Reprocess: Changed Depth Dimension

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.

• Sensor Depth below surface(depth)

SGP/ECOR/E14 - CO2/H2O Incorrect

The LI-7500 CO2/H2O sensor stopped working after a rainstorm.  CO2 and H2O data are 
incorrect during the stated period.

SGP/ECOR/E14 - CO2/H2O Fluxes Incorrect All Times, All Measurements Incorrect Sometimes

A problem with garbled sonic anemometer data sometimes occurred (causing all data to be 
incorrect), but this first followed a failure of analog communications with the LI-7500; 
LI-7500 analog measurements (but not the measurements communicated through the serial line) 
were incorrect during the entire period.

It is unclear at this point what initiated the problem.

SGP/ECOR/E14 - Flux Measurements Incorrect

The ECOR datastream was corrupted; this happens when the ECOR program produces a 
datastream of the wrong length (i.e., leaves one or measurements out).

Fluxes and some other measurements are incorrect.

Note: Mentor reports reprocessing will not correct this problem.
