SGP EBBR E13 - E13 EBBR Left Air Temperature Incorrect
DataStreams:sgp5ebbrE13.a1, sgp15ebbrE13.a1, sgp15ebbrE13.b1, sgp30ebbrE13.a1, sgp30ebbrE13.b1
Description:
This condition occurred most of the time during the 
indicated period (hence color yellow).

The left air temperature was incorrect only when the AEM
was in the home 30 position.  This only affected the bottom
air temperature calculation.  However, it made the latent
heat flux, sensible heat flux, and Bowen ratio incorrect.

The sensor was improperly inserted into the aspirator shield
and was pinched between the shield and the T/RH probe. When
the AEM was in the home30 position, the aspirator hose
position may have caused the sensor to short to ground.
Measurements:sgp15ebbrE13.b1:
  • Left air temperature(tair_l)

SGP/EBBR/E13 - Reprocess: E13 EBBR Soil Temperature #4 Incorrect
DataStreams:sgp15ebbrE13.a1, sgp15ebbrE13.b1, sgp30ebbrE13.a1, sgp30ebbrE13.b1
Description:
Soil Temperature #4 was often incorrect, typically too large negative,
during this period, causing other measurements calculated with
it to be incorrect also. This was caused by a bad multiplexor channel,
which was discovered by the vendor during recalibration of the unit
later.

Fixed AEM and wind speed sensor heights were improperly used in the calculation of bulk 
aerodynamic sensible and latent heat fluxes instead of site specific heights.

This resulted in either under-estimation or over-estimation of the sensible and latent

SGP/EBBR/E13 - Improved EBBR CR10 Program
DataStreams:sgp30ebbrE13.b1
Description:
Effective 20050331.2100, the EBBR.E13 CR10 program was revised to improve the quality of 
the primary measurements as follows:

1) An RMS procedure is used to determine max and min limits of acceptable soil heat flow.  
This is applied to the individual soil sets.  Measurements outside the limits are 
rejected and the measurements within the limits are used to calculate the average soil heat flow.

2) Max and min limits are used to determine incorrect values of net radiation, sensible 
heat flux (h), latent heat flux (e), and automatic exchange mechanism (AEM) signal.  If AEM 
signal is outside the limits, h and e are set to 999s.  If net radiation is outside the 
limits, h and e are set to 999s. If h or e are outside the limits, h and e are set to 999s.

Virtually no incorrect soil measurement will affect the primary measurements of h and e.

By setting h and e to 999s, it can be easily seen that the primary variables are 
incorrect; no other interpretation is possible.

Prior to 20050331, the improved CR10 program was NOT in effect.  DQRs have been submitted 
for known instances of incorrect soil measurements which affected the quality of the 
primary measurements of h and e.

Note: the DQR begin date is the begin date of the sgp30ebbrE13.b1 data stream.  The 
earlier version of the CR10 program was also used on previous EBBR datastream names (e.g. 
sgp30ebbrE13.a1).
Measurements:sgp30ebbrE13.b1:
  • average surface soil heat flow at the surface(ave_shf)
  • latent heat flux(e)
  • corrected sensible heat flux(h)
