DataStreams: | sgp15ebbrE22.b1, sgp30ebbrE22.b1, sgp5ebbrE22.b1 |
Description: | During the month of November 1994, site operations personnel conducted field comparisons of the temperature and relative humidity sensors in the EBBRs and the HMI31 portable T/RH meter (with the removable probe). As is reflected in the home signal output, the automatic exchange mechanism was disabled in order to conduct the checks. Measurements were taken every 5 minutes, for a half hour each in the aspirated radiation shields (the HMI31 was inserted into the EBBR aspirated radiation shield to provide the same aspiration as the EBBR sensors received). Measurements of aspirator flow were also recorded. This information was provided to the mentor. The mentor then compared the field checks with the data recorded by the EBBRs. The periods of data and data fields that are incorrect because of the checks are listed below. Times are those at which the data are reported. Data Fields 5 minute: tair_top, tair_bot, thum_top, thum_bot, hum_top, hum_bot, vp_top, vp_bot 15 minute: rr_thum_r, rr_thum_l, mv_hum_r, mv_hum_l, tair_r, tair_l 30 minute: tair_top, tair_bot, thum_top, thum_bot, hum_top, hum_bot, vp_top, vp_bot, bowen, e, h 5 minute: 1650, 1655, 1700, 1705, 1710, 1715, 1720, 1725, 1730, 1735 15 minute: 1700, 1715, 1730, 1745 30 minute: 1700, 1730, 1800 (EDITOR'S NOTE: The following analysis refers to all EBBRs installed in Nov 1994) Results of the T/RH comparisons: The combined accuracy of the HMI31 and EBBR temperature sensors (thermocouples or PRTDs) is +/- 0.4 degrees C. The combined accuracy of the HMI31 and EBBR RH sensors is +/- 4% for RH less than 80%, and +/- 6% for RH greater than 80%. The combined accuracy for each pair of EBBR sensors of the same type is essentially the same as the quantities stated above. All of the pairs of EBBR sensors show differences that fall within the stated combined accuracies. Although this sounds wonderful, a few of the differences are close to the combined accuracy, which, because of the small differences in temperature being measured (normally smaller than the magnitude of the combined accuracy) could lead to some incorrect estimation of sensible and latent heat flux. However, unless there would be substantial differences of calibration slope of two sensors in a pair, the switching of height of the sensors every 15 minutes by the automatic exchange mechanism will remove the offset between the sensors. The comparisons between the EBBR sensors and the HMI31 T/RH meter showed much larger differences. The range of differences were: -2.4 to 0.0 degrees for the thermocouples, -2.1 to 0.1 degrees for the RH probe PRTDs, and -6.6 to 6.7 percent for the RH sensors. Six Thermocouples indicated differences from the HMI31 greater than the combined accuracy. Seven PRTDs indicated differences from the HMI31 greater than the combined accuracy. Four RH sensors indicated differences from the HMI31 greater than the combined accuracy. The temperature differences (for both thermocouples and PRTDs) were nearly all of one sign; the HMI31 indicated the greater temperature, which may suggest a bias in the HMI31 temperature measurement, even though a dozen differences of +/- 0.2 degrees were measured. Four differences of zero and only one positive difference (out of 40) were measured. Thirteen of the 20 RH differences were positive (HMI31 indicating the lower RH), with the differences near the level of the combined accuracies being approximately 50% positive and 50% negative. It does not appear that the HMI31 has a RH bias. Plots of EBBR sensor/HMI31 differences as a function of time from the installation of the individual sensors (a range of 10 to 30 months in the field) shows no obvious pattern of sensor drift with time. This is encouraging. |

DataStreams: | sgp15ebbrE22.b1, sgp30ebbrE22.b1, sgp5ebbrE22.b1 |
Description: | During EBBR 3 month checks the Automatic Exchange Mechanism is disabled (reflected by home signals near zero) so that the two aspirator units can be placed at the same height. The measurements during this period, at least, do not produce correct outputs of bowen ratio (bowen), sensible heat flux (h), or latent heat flux (e), nor do the air temperature and relative humidity measurements indicate gradients. Checks performed before or after the AEM is disabled also lead to some incorrect data. |

DataStreams: | sgp15ebbrE22.b1, sgp30ebbrE22.b1, sgp5ebbrE22.b1 |
Description: | The home30 measurements sometimes exceeded 34.9999, resulting in the qc flag being set. However, this does not create any data quality issues. The qc flag is set just to provide an alert that the automatic exchange mechanism may have a problem; in this case data was not affected. An electronics repair solved the problem. |

DataStreams: | sgp30ebbrE22.b1, sgp5ebbrE22.b1 |
Description: | The AEM home signals were too large at times during the indicated period; it has been determined by the vendor that this is usually caused by electrical noise in the vicinity. When the 30 minute data shows a home 30 signal of 35 or more, the bowen ratio, and sensible and latent heat flux measurements are incorrect Removing the jumper between 4L and AG on the CR10 and adding a jumper to Multiplexer 2, Set 6, between L1 and L2 fixed the problem. The vendor intends to make this modification to all EBBR systems as they return for re-calibration. |

Description: | The upper hemisphere of the net radiometer at the site was punctured allowing water to collect in the lower (and sometimes upper) section of the sensor. The punctures are most likely the result of migratory birds (a problem that we have experienced almost every year here at ANL also). The punctures (and water in some net radiometers) did not result in obvious invalidation of the data. Whether there is water in the lower hemisphere or not, a small puncture of the upper hemisphere would not have a major effect on the net radiation measurement. Significant amounts of water in the lower hemisphere should have a major effect on nighttime measurements particularly, although that effect is hard to detect in the data. The date when the puncture occurred is approximate - but is certainly no more than two weeks before the hemisphere was replaced. |

DataStreams: | sgp15ebbrE22.b1, sgp30ebbrE22.b1, sgp5ebbrE22.b1 |
Description: | On 13 June 1997, vandals stole the right AEM aspirator unit, including the thermocouple and T/RH probe inside. These were replaced on 16 July 1997. Incorrect data fields during the period above are: 5 minute: tair_top, tair_bot, thum_top, thum_bot, hum_top, hum_bot, vp_top, vp_bot 15 minute: rr_thum_r, mv_hum_r, tair_r 30 minute: tair_top, tair_bot, thum_top, thum_bot, hum_top, hum_bot, vp_top, vp_bot, bowen, e, h |

Subject: | SGP/EBBR/E22 - EBBR Biannual Checks |
DataStreams: | sgp15ebbrE22.b1, sgp30ebbrE22.b1, sgp5ebbrE22.b1 |
Description: | During EBBR 6 month checks the Automatic Exchange Mechanism is disabled (reflected by home signals near zero) so that the two aspirator units can be placed at the same height. The measurements during these periods do not produce correct outputs of bowen ratio (bowen), sensible heat flux (h), or latent heat flux (e), nor do the air temperature and relative humidity measurements indicate correct gradients. Checks performed before or after the AEM is disabled also lead to some incorrect data. Incorrect 5, 15 minute and half hour data occurs for periods indicated. |

Subject: | SGP/EBBR/E22 - Low Battery - Resulting In Incorrect Data |
DataStreams: | sgp15ebbrE22.b1, sgp30ebbrE22.b1, sgp5ebbrE22.b1 |
Description: | A low battery condition (less than 10.5 volts) caused a number of data fields to be incorrect at some times and all data fields to be incorrect at a more limited number of times. All data fields are suspect when the battery voltage drops below 10.5 volts because the CR10 cannot operate properly. Some sensors are affected slightly (i.e. pressure) at slightly larger voltages. The low battery condition resulted from an initially weak battery and a week of extremely low solar radiation (from heavy cloudiness) on the solar panel that provides most of the charging of the battery. Comments added by Marv Wesely: David Cook has been working with Dave Breedlove to try to assess the age of the batteries. The dates on the batteries needs to be read during site visits and provided to David C. It's quite possible that they need to be replaced. It's work in progress, though slow at times. |

Subject: | SGP/EBBR/E22 - 3-Month Check |
DataStreams: | sgp15ebbrE22.b1, sgp30ebbrE22.b1, sgp5ebbrE22.b1 |
Description: | During EBBR 3 month checks the Automatic Exchange Mechanism is disabled (reflected by home signals near zero) so that the two aspirator units can be placed at the same height. The measurements during these periods do not produce correct outputs of bowen ratio (bowen), sensible heat flux (h), or latent heat flux (e), nor do the air temperature and relative humidity measurements indicate correct gradients. Checks performed before or after the AEM is disabled also lead to some incorrect data. Incorrect 5, 15 minute and half hour data occurs for the period above. |

DataStreams: | sgp30ebbrE22.b1, sgp5ebbrE22.b1, sgp15ebbrE22.b1 |
Description: | During EBBR 6 month checks (formally called 3 month checks) the Automatic Exchange Mechanism is disabled (reflected by home signals near zero) so that the two aspirator units can be placed at the same height. The measurements during these periods do not produce correct outputs of bowen ratio (bowen), sensible heat flux (h), or latent heat flux (e), nor do the air temperature and relative humidity measurements indicate correct gradients. Checks performed just before or after the AEM is disabled also lead to some incorrect data. Incorrect 5, 15 minute and half hour data occurs for the period indicated. |
