Subject:	SGP/EBBR/E9 - Reprocess: Soil Temperature #5 Incorrect
DataStreams:	sgp30ebbrE9.a1, sgp30ebbrE9.b1
Description:	Soil temperature # 5 was incorrect most of the time, leading to incorrect surface heat flow, latent heat flux and sensible heat flux. The heat fluxes can be recalculated by using soil sets 1-4 as follows: ave_shf = (g1 + g2 + g3 + g4)/4 e = -(q + ave_shf)/(1 + bowen) h = -(q + e + ave_shf)

Subject:	SGP/EBBR/E9 - Humidity Probe Measurements Incorrect
DataStreams:	sgp30ebbrE9.a1, sgp30ebbrE9.b1, sgp5ebbrE9.a1
Description:	The temperature and humidity measurements from both T/RH probes were incorrect during changeout of the right probe.

Subject:	SGP/EBBR/E9 - Right Humidity Suspect
DataStreams:	sgp30ebbrE9.a1, sgp30ebbrE9.b1, sgp5ebbrE9.a1
Description:	The Right Humidity measurement was normally incorrect, although it is often difficult to determine it by looking at the measurement. The measurements float around, sometimes being too large and sometimes being too small, through most of the day, particularly for the hour before sunset through the hour after sunrise. Great care and comparison with surrounding EBBR sites would be needed to be able to use any of the latent and sensible heat flux measurements from E9 for this period. Another DQPR has been issued to fix this problem, which has eluded repair efforts so far.
Measurements:	sgp30ebbrE9.b1: Bottom humidity(hum_bot) latent heat flux(e) bottom vapor pressure(vp_bot) Top humidity(hum_top) h(h) top vapor pressure(vp_top) sgp5ebbrE9.a1: top vapor pressure(vp_top) Bottom humidity(hum_bot) Top humidity(hum_top) bottom vapor pressure(vp_bot) sgp30ebbrE9.a1: bottom vapor pressure(vp_bot) latent heat flux(e) h(h) Bottom humidity(hum_bot) Top humidity(hum_top) top vapor pressure(vp_top)

Subject:	SGP/EBBR - Incorrect Units for Soil Heat Capacity (cs1, cs2, cs3, cs4, cs5) in 30EBBR Header

DataStreams:	sgp15ebbrE9.a1, sgp15ebbrE9.b1, sgp30ebbrE9.a1, sgp30ebbrE9.b1, sgp5ebbrE9.a1
Description:	The net radiometer top dome was punctured by migrating birds. This alone does not cause incorrect net radiation measurements. However, when it subsequently rains, water collects in the bottom dome, causing the net radiation measurements to be too large during the day and too small at night.

Subject:	SGP/SIRS/E9 - Possible instrument drift
DataStreams:	sgpsirs20sE9.a0, sgpsirsE9.00, sgpsirsE9.b1
Description:	Downwelling shortwave values were too low, dropping below -10 W/m^2 at night and reading 30-50 W/m^2 lower than DS calculated from direct and diffuse measurements during the day. This problem became more noticeable beginning on 10/14, when nighttime values began to drop below -10 W/m^2 consistently. The problem was corrected with the annual instrument changout on 10/23/03. Although the downwelling shortwave instrument (DS) appears to be the problem a more likely scenario is that the cable connections became thermopile. The instrument changeout possibly reseated and corrected any poor connections.

Subject:	SGP/SIRS/E9 - Unknown -failed PSP ventilator fan
DataStreams:	sgpsirs20sE9.a0, sgpsirsE9.00, sgpsirsE9.b1
Description:	Downwelling shortwave hemispheric (DSH) readings appear to have a slight to moderate negative offset from derived DSH values. At night, this negative offset causes qc flags (since values are below the minimum threshold of -10 W/m^2). Differences between derived and actual DSH values are sometimes on the order of 50 W/m^2 due to this offset. The offset was discovered to be due to a failed ventilator fan which is used to clear the dome of the PSP, the instrument which measures the DSH. The ventilator likely seized or was intermittent and heated the PSP base giving an erroneous DSH reading. Field techs replaced the fan on 01/25/2005 1745GMT. The DSH has been reading normally since that time.

Subject:	SGP/SIRS/E9 - Downwelling Shortwave values low
DataStreams:	sgpsirs20sE9.a0, sgpsirsE9.00, sgpsirsE9.b1
Description:	Downwelling Shortwave Hemispheric (DSH) irradiance values from the pyranometer instrument were frequently below the MIN value of -10 W/m^2 at night. DSH values also frequently disagreed with derived readings (at times well over 50 W/m^2 difference) during the daylight hours, especially in the morning. Field techs performed maintenance but could not find obvious instrument or connection problems. The low DSH values during nighttime were on the threshold of acceptable. Largest offsets acceptable with these pyranometers is typically -10 W/m2. The large derived vs. actual DSH differences during the daylight hours are the subject of ongoing ARM investigation. No instrument problems could be identified.

DataStreams:	sgp15swfanalsirs1longE9.c1, sgp1swfanalsirs1longE9.c1
Description:	The long name attribute for the cloud effect fields incorrectly defines the cloud effect to be the difference between the clearskyfit and measured values: "Difference: *fluxdn_clearskyfit - fluxdn_measured (fcg)" ; The cloud effects are correctly calculated by subtracting the irradiance calculated in the clear sky fit from the measured irradiance.

Subject:	SGP/EBBR/E9 - Improved EBBR CR10 Program
DataStreams:	sgp30ebbrE9.b1
Description:	Effective 20050322.1600, the EBBR.E9 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 20050322, 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 sgp30ebbrE9.b1 data stream. The earlier version of the CR10 program was also used on previous EBBR datastream names (e.g. sgp30ebbrE9.a1).

Description:	On 20050420, a series of metadata corrections and additions were completed. These metadata changes apply to all EBBR.E9 data collected by ARM back to the installation of the instrument in December 1992. Please see the current metadata for correct information. These changes do not affect data values or quality. The changes are summarized below: 1) Update of "sensor location" information 2) Addition of installation dates for the systems 3) Correction of soil moisture units (from "by volume" to "gravimetric")

Subject:	SGP/SIRS/E9 - Reprocessed: Longwave Calibration error
DataStreams:	sgpsirsE9.b1
Description:	Modified pyrgeometer calibration procedures were implemented beginning in December 2003. These modified procedures introduced a calibration bias in the longwave data. The previous procedures were re-implemented at all sites between December 2005 and February 2006 to restore proper calibrations. The data collected while the incorrect procedures were in place have been reprocessed to remove the calibration bias. The reprocessed 60 second averaged data are based on 3 instantaneous 20 second data records rather than on 60 1 second instanteous data records. Still, these data are considered far superior to the originally processed data. The reprocessed data were archived in October 2006.
