SGP/EBBR - EBBR E7 Soil Moisture Sensors #2 and #4 Negative
DataStreams:sgp15ebbrE7.a1, sgp30ebbrE7.a1
Description:
Soil moisture sensors #2 and #4 produced negative values for soil moisture
frequently during the period, causing the quantities calculated from them 
to be incorrect.  The version of the CR10X program at E7 does not have
max/min limits on the outputs. The data needs to be examined to determine 
times of incorrect soil moisture values.  The data values affected are 
shown below.

SGP/EBBR - EBBR E22 Soil Moistures Negative
DataStreams:sgp15ebbrE22.a1, sgp30ebbrE22.a1
Description:
Because of the lack of rain, all soil moistures were negative during much 
of the period.  The negative soil moistures caused soil heat storage and
thus average soil heat flux to be smaller than they should have been.  The
sensible and latent heat fluxes were therefore reduced slightly 
(approximately 0-5%).

The affected data are:

15 minute: r_sm1, r_sm2, r_sm3, r_sm4, r_sm5

DataStreams:sgp15ebbrE19.a1, sgp30ebbrE19.a1
Description:
The sign was reversed (heat flow plate #1 was installed upside down), causing incorrect 
measurements, as indicated.

The average soil heat flow can be recalculated by using an average of soil sensor sets 
2-5.  The recalculated average soil heat flow can then be used to recalculate latent and 
sensible heat fluxes.

SGP EBBR E13 - E13 EBBR Soil T #4 Incorrect
DataStreams:sgp15ebbrE13.a1, sgp30ebbrE13.a1
Description:
Soil Temperature #4 floated around, causing average soil heat flow
to sometimes be too small (resulting too small a sensible heat flux and
too large a latent heat flux) or too large (resulting in too large a 
sensible heat flux and too small a latent heat flux).  Investigation of
g4 will indicate when these conditions occurred and the likely effect on
sensible and latent heat fluxes.
Measurements:sgp15ebbrE13.a1:
  • Soil temperature 4(rr_ts4)

sgp30ebbrE13.a1:
  • latent heat flux(e)
  • average surface soil heat flow at the surface(ave_shf)
  • 0-5 cm change in soil heat storage with time, site 4(ces4)
  • soil heat flow at the surface 4(g4)
  • corrected sensible heat flux(h)
  • 0-5 cm integrated soil temperature, site 4(ts4)

SGP/EBBR/E22 - Reprocess: E22 Soil Moisture Values Off End of Calibration at High Soil 
Moistures
DataStreams:sgp15ebbrE22.a1, sgp30ebbrE22.a1
Description:
Intermittently, since November 1997 soil moisture probes 1, 2, and 3
indicate small positive or else negative values when soil moisture is
high (greater than 35%).  This situation is similar to that at the Cement
EBBR, although the soil at Cordell is not capable of holding as much water
as that at Cement. The cause of the problem is inadequate range in the
calibration curve equation.  Very high soil moisture cannot be obtained
with the calibration soil used by REBS.  The soil moisture equations
could be manipulated to allow larger soil moistures to be calculated.
However, the infrequency of occurence does not justify doing so.

The soil moisture data must be inspected by the data user to see when
soil moisture values for one or more probes is inconsistent with the
others.

Recalculation of ave_shf, e, and h must be made using only the soil
moisture sets with correct soil moisture values.

Affected data values are (# for 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 2 is
incorrect,

ave_shf = (g1 + g3 + g4 + g5)/4

e = -(q + ave_shf)/(1 +bowen)

h = -(e + ave_shf +q),


If soil moistures 1 and 2 are incorrect,

ave_shf = (g3 + g4 + g5)/3

e = -(q + ave_shf)/(1 +bowen)

h = -(e + ave_shf +q),


If soil moistures 1, 2, and 3 are incorrect,

ave_shf = (g4 + g5)/2

e = -(q + ave_shf)/(1 +bowen)

h = -(e + ave_shf +q),

etc.
