DataStreams: | sgp30ebbrE9.a1, sgp5ebbrE9.a0 |
Description: | EDITOR'S NOTE: This DQR refers, in part, to data collected prior to the begin date of regular ARM data. During the first month covered by this DQR, the EBBR.E9 data were not archived with standard ARM names. The data are therefore not readily available, but can be made available by special request. The total period covered by the problem documented here is 930615.0000-940322.1643. The AEM at E9 frequently did not function properly during the time period stated. Please see the notes in the EBBR platform describing home signal conditions for which certain of the data fields are suspect. The newly installed AEM is performing properly so far. The files could be flagged, but it is up to the user to read the platform notes concerning the condition of the home signal and then view the quality of the data accordingly. I would be at my terminal full- time in attempting to list all days and times and data fields that are affected by the numerous AEM malfunctions. Furthermore, I have done so previously in several PIFs that I will reference here for information: P931101.4, P931115.2, P940105.2, P940211.3 |

Subject: | SGP/EBBR/E9 - Temperature Portion of T/RH Probe |
DataStreams: | sgp15ebbrE9.a1, sgp30ebbrE9.a1 |
Description: | The Temperature portion of the right T/RH probe indicated too high a temperature for nearly 11 months. I twice placed work requests to have the probe replaced, but no spares were available. Spares recently became available and I placed a new work request to have the probe changed. The replacement occurred on 18 June 1997; this fixed the problem. The main results of the high temperatures were probe top and bottom temperatures (used only for the calculation of vapor pressure) and vapor pressures that were too large. Furthermore, this caused latent heat flux to be reported to be too large, and therefore sensible heat flux was reported to be too small. Recalculation of the fluxes using thermocouple temperatures to calculate vapor pressure would be quite time consuming and would have to assume that the thermocouple temperature and probe temperature were nearly the same. The EBBR procedures have been changed to include comparison of the thermocouple and probe temperatures to make it easier for the site operators to detect this condition. The data affected (and thus incorrect) includes: 15 minute: rr_thum_r 30 minute: thum_top, thum_bot, vp_top, vp_bot, e, h, bowen. |
