SGP/SMOS/E13 - 6-month Calibration Checks
DataStreams:sgp1440smosE13.b1, sgp1smosE13.b1, sgp30smosE13.b1
Description:
During the time periods specified, the SMOS.E13 tower was lowered for 6-month Calibration 
Checks.  During these times wind data are incorrect and temperature and humidity data may 
be incorrect.

Note, exact times when tower was down or maintenance was being performed is sometimes 
unknown.  Users should use the remaining data from these days with caution.

Calibration results are available from the OMIS database at 
    
http://www.ops.sgp.arm.gov:591/smos6cal/default.htm

SGP/EBBR/E13 - Sensible and Latent Heat Fluxes Incorrect When Pressure Offscale
DataStreams:sgp15ebbrE13.b1, sgp30ebbrE13.b1, sgp5ebbrE13.b1
Description:
There were several half hours during this period when the pressure went offscale or at 
least to a high value, causing the sensible and latent heat fluxes to be incorrect.
Measurements:sgp15ebbrE13.b1:
  • Atmospheric pressure(mv_pres)

  • Retrieved pressure profile(pres)

SGP/EBBR/E13 - Radiometer dome broken
DataStreams:sgp15ebbrE13.b1, sgp30ebbrE13.b1, sgp5ebbrE13.b1
Description:
The top net radiometer dome was broken, yielding net radiation, sensible heat flux and 
latent heat flux that were too low.

The BEFLUX (SIRS) net radiation can be used as a replacement for the EBBR net radiation.

To correct the sensible and latent heat fluxes, determine the ratio of SIRS net radiation 
to EBBR net radiation for each daylight half hour and multiply that ratio times H and LE 
to obtain approximate corrected flux values.
Measurements:sgp15ebbrE13.b1:
  • Net radiation(mv_q)
sgp5ebbrE13.b1:
  • net radiation(q)
sgp30ebbrE13.b1:
  • net radiation(q)
  • latent heat flux(e)
