DataStreams:sgppgsC1.b1
Description:
Time Variables - to make the PGS system more consistent with LBNL's other data streams, 
the variable 'yyyymmddhhmmss' was renamed 'yyyydddhhmmss'. Also, at the bottom of each 
file, variables 'yyyy','mon','hour','min' were added for those users who prefer to use these 
variables instead. The new 'time' variable (seconds since midnight of the start of file) 
was added to make files compatible with the new recommendations.

Quality Control Flags - to prevent confusion, the quality control flags 'qc_co2ppm' and 
'qc_sum_co2' were combined. The flag 'qc_sum_co2' was elliminated and 'qc_co2ppm' now 
performs range checking on 'co2ppm' variable as well as checking values of all dependencies' 
qc flags.

SGP/CO2/C1 - Reprocessing User Notes
DataStreams:sgp30co2flx4mmetC1.b1
Description:
A subset of the radiation measurements had an incorrect gain applied to raw data in period 
from 20021218-20031218.  To correct for this, a multiplicative correction factor of 1.11 
were applied to raw data used for the following variables:

r_down_short_hemisp
r_down_long_hemisp
r_up_short_hemisp
r_up_long_hemisp

Note that the long wave variables are computed by adding the black body thermal radiation 
from the radiometer body to each of the long wave signals.  Hence, the multiplicative 
correction is applied to the raw long wave fluxes before adding in the flux from the 
radiometer body.

  • downwelling shortwave hemispheric irradiance t_rad corrected(r_down_short_hemisp)

Description:
Replacement of LI-200 sensor (total downwelling shortwave radiation, variable r_tot) by a 
new LI-190 sensor (upwelling photosynthetic photon flux density, variable ppfd_up).

- installed on December 9, 2004. 
- being tested from December 9, 2004 to December 22, 2004.
- operational after December 22, 2004.

Consequently:
1. variable "r_tot" is filled with missing values (qc_r_tot = 1) after December 9, 2004,
2. variable "ppfd_up" is filled with missing values (qc_ppfd_up = 1) prior December 22, 
2004.

Description:
Dew point temperature (dpt) sensor (Vaisala DMT 142) was added to the system on May 24, 
2005 to assess water trapping system efficiency. Consequently, variable "dpt" is filled 
with missing values (-999.99) prior measurements start date (May 24, 2005).

SGP/CO2/C1 - Reprocess: calibration error
DataStreams:sgp30co2flx4mC1.b1
Description:
A problem was identified with the calibration of the instrument performed on May 27, 2005. 
A study to correct this bad calibration is underway.
Measurements:sgp30co2flx4mC1.b1:
  • WPL corrected CO2 flux(fc_corr)
  • mean water vapor concentration (q)(mean_q)
  • WPL corrected latent heat flux(le)

SGP/CO2/C1 - Met stand was moved
DataStreams:sgp30co2flx4mmetC1.b1
Description:
Ameriflux program (Hank Loescher from Oregon state university) visits the site to 
intercompare his instruments with our 4m flux system.
The met stand was moved by 30 feet and consequently:
1. Soil moisture sensors were disconnected,
2. Soil temperature sensors were disconnected,
3. Soil heat plates were disconnected,
4. The true direction of the anemometer boom was 230 degrees instead of the regular 270 
degrees.
Measurements:sgp30co2flx4mmetC1.b1:
  • average of two lower soil temperature sensors(mean_t_soil_lower)
  • average of four upper soil moisture sensors(mean_m_soil_upper)
  • Unit Vector Wind Direction(wdir)
  • average of four lower soil moisture sensors(mean_m_soil_lower)
  • average of two middle soil temperature sensors(mean_t_soil_middle)
  • average of up to four soil heat flux sensors(mean_g_soil)
  • average of two upper soil temperature sensors(mean_t_soil_upper)
