SGP/SMOS/E1 - 6-month Calibration Checks
DataStreams:sgp1440smosE1.b1, sgp1smosE1.b1, sgp30smosE1.b1
Description:
During the time periods specified, the SMOS.E1 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

Description:
During the time periods specified, the SMOS.E24 tower was lowered for 6-month Calibration

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.

SGP/ECOR/E21 - Intermittent incorrect flux measurements
DataStreams:sgp30ecorE21.b1
Description:
At various times during the period, the LI-7500 CO2/H2O serial and analog signals from the 
LI-7500 were missing, but usually not at the same time.

When the CO2/H2O serial datastream was missing, the Pressure and Temperature were missing; 
this did not, in itself, result in incorrect fluxes, as default values for pressure and 
temperature are automatically used.

Fluxes were incorrect when the CO2/H2O analog datastream was missing; these
times are identified by the qc checks.
Measurements:sgp30ecorE21.b1:
  • latent heat flux(lv_e)
  • covariance wc(cvar_wc)
  • average atmospheric pressure (IGRA internal sensor)(atm_pres)
  • covariance wq(cvar_wq)
  • CO2 flux(fc)
  • average temperature (IGRA internal sensor)(temp_irga)

SGP/ECOR/E5 - Flux Measurements Incorrect
DataStreams:sgp30ecorE5.b1
Description:
The ECOR datastream was corrupted; this happens when the ECOR program produces a 
datastream of the wrong length (i.e., leaves one or more measurements out).

Fluxes and some other measurements are incorrect.

Note: Mentor reports reprocessing will not correct this problem.
Measurements:sgp30ecorE5.b1:
  • latent heat flux(lv_e)
  • CO2 flux(fc)
  • h(h)

Description:
The T/RH sensor relative humidity data is suspect during this time.  Values from this
