2006-09-02 04:00:00 2006-09-14 19:00:00 Incorrect
Subject: SGP/EBBR/E13 - Radiometer dome broken
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE13.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
  • latent_heat_flux (Latent heat flux)
  • net_radiation (Net radiation)
  • sensible_heat_flux (Sensible heat flux)

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E13 - Wind Direction Incorrect
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE13.b1
Description Wind direction was incorrect during the period indicated due to a sensor electronics failure. On 30 August 1996 site operations replaced S/N K3035 with S/N K3034. Correct data collection resumed. Values that are incorrect for the period are: 5 minute: wind_d, res_ws, sigma_wd 15 minute: mv_wind_d 30 minute: wind_d, res_ws, sigma_wd
Measurements
  • wdir_vec_std (Wind direction vector mean standard deviation)

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E13 - Average Soil Heat Flux Incorrect
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE13.b1
Description A typo in the version 9 EBBR program caused average soil heat flow to be zero, resulting in both sensible and latent heat fluxes being approximately 20 watts per meter squared too large during the middle of the day.
Measurements
  • latent_heat_flux (Latent heat flux)
  • sensible_heat_flux (Sensible heat flux)

Subject: SGP EBBR E13 - E13 EBBR Left Air Temperature Incorrect
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE13.b1
Description This condition occurred most of the time during the indicated period (hence color yellow). The left air temperature was incorrect only when the AEM was in the home 30 position. This only affected the bottom air temperature calculation. However, it made the latent heat flux, sensible heat flux, and Bowen ratio incorrect. The sensor was improperly inserted into the aspirator shield and was pinched between the shield and the T/RH probe. When the AEM was in the home30 position, the aspirator hose position may have caused the sensor to short to ground.
Measurements
  • latent_heat_flux (Latent heat flux)
  • sensible_heat_flux (Sensible heat flux)

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E13 - Failed Right Humidity Probe
Affected Datastreams: sgp5ebbrE13.b1
Description A lightning strike to the central cluster area on 17 July 1995 caused failure of several EBBR sensors including the right humidity probe. On July 24th, site operations removed the right humidity probe SN 460412 and replaced it with SN 460428 In less than a day the right humidity probe output soared to over 113% and has hovered around 112% since. I consider all right probe values to be incorrect due to this behavior. Without a properly functioning right humidity probe, all values of top and bottom relative humidity, top and bottom vapor pressure, Bowen ratio, and latent and sensible heat fluxes are incorrect. A working spare relative humidity probe was not available at that time. The probe was replaced with a working, calibrated probe on 22 September 1995 at about 2108 GMT. I have the examined the data since the day of the replacement and find that the new probe is working well. All E13 EBBR measurements are presently correct. The old probe S/N was 460428, the new S/N is 460413.

Description During much of the indicated period the Left T/RH Temperature was incorrect. Because the home signal was between 0 and 3, the temperature was incorrect when the AEM was at the bottom position, but was correct when the AEM was at the top position. This was caused by a short created when the sensor was mispositioned in the aspirator housing and enough strain on the cable for it to bring it into contact with the housing in the bottom position.

Affected Datastreams: sgp5ebbrE13.b1
Description Low battery voltage caused some data values to be incorrect beginning at 1500 GMT on August 1, 1995. The data should be carefully inspected to determine which values are incorrect. During replacement of the battery at the Central Facility EBBR on August 1, 1995, the AEM exchange toggle switch was left in the manual position, which caused the right aspirator to remain in the home position until the switch was correctly placed in the exchange position at 1616 GMT on August 2, 1995. All 5, 15, and 30 minute values of temperature, relative humidity , vapor pressure, bowen, e, and h are incorrect during the period. 15 and 30 minute values are also incorrect at 1630 GMT.

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E13 - SM4 Replacement
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE13.b1
Description Soil Moisture Probe #4 has been indicating large soil moistures in the past couple of months. At times the values have exceeded the upper limit of the acceptable range. This data could be considered questionable, although the affect on average soil moisture and quantities affected by it is very small. Therefore, I do not suggest additional flagging of the data other than that imposed by the limits. The probe was changed from S/N 92004 to 93004 on May 6, 1994 at 1530 GMT. During the exchange process a few selected periods of soil moisture #4 data is incorrect, but not so different from the other soil moisture probes as to have a significant affect on the average soil moisture or the fluxes. Additionally, the EBBR output was interrupted for a half hour while the calibration of the new probe was entered into the CR10 data logger. Therefore, all 5 minute data from 1535 to 1600 GMT, 15 minute data for 1545 and 1600 GMT, and 30 minute data for 1600 GMT is incorrect. Furthermore, disturbance of the area near the #4 soil probes (temperature, soil moisture, and heat flux) caused all three to be incorrect for the following periods: 30 minute 1530 GMT 15 minute 1515 and 1530 GMT 5 minute 1515, 1520, 1525, and 1530 GMT. Complete recovery by all three sensors did not occur for one day (which is fairly typical for near surface installations), although the differences from the other four sets of soil sensors did not deleteriously affect the averages of the soil quantities.

Affected Datastreams: sgpirt200msE13.a1
Description On Saturday and Sunday, December 26 and 27th a powerful winter storm (Goliath) brought sleet and freezing rain to much of Oklahoma with wind gusts of 45 MPH at times. The result was very very slick roads and mass power outages. The SGP central facility lost power at 8:55 PM CDT on Sunday, December 27th. The power was restored on 7:56 PM CDT on Wednesday, December 30th Site Emergency procedures were activated and Technicians drained water out of instrument reservoirs and other measures as needed, early Monday morning. On Wednesdays as roads and power started was restored to much of the areas east of I-35 , Site Technicians performed maintenance on several Extended Facilities. During this period, data are potentially missing, incorrect, or suspect. Carefully inspect the data before use.

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E13 - Improved EBBR CR10 Program
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE13.b1
Description Effective 20050331.2100, the EBBR.E13 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 20050331, 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 sgp30ebbrE13.b1 data stream. The earlier version of the CR10 program was also used on previous EBBR datastream names (e.g. sgp30ebbrE13.a1).

Description The automatic exchange mechanism hung numerous times, but with various different measurements of home signals. In all cases, temperature and humidity gradients were incorrect; thus the Bowen ratio, sensible heat flux, and latent heat flux are incorrect for the indicated periods. Even when the home 15 and 30 signals were different (but too high) the measurements were incorrect because the program keys off of the home signals, which must be in the proper ranges.

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E13 - Net Radiation - Hemisphere Replacement
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE13.b1
Description The upper hemisphere of the net radiometer was punctured (pinhole) and thus was replaced at 1937 GMT on December 2, 1994. This resulted in a spike in the net radiation data. 5 minute q data for 1935, 1940, 1945, and 1955 GMT, 15 minute mv_q data for 1945 and 2000 GMT, and 30 minute q, e, and h data for 2000 GMT are incorrect.
Measurements
  • latent_heat_flux (Latent heat flux)
  • net_radiation (Net radiation)
  • sensible_heat_flux (Sensible heat flux)

Subject: SGP EBBR E13 - E13 EBBR Soil T #4 Incorrect
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE13.b1
Description Soil Temperature #4 floated around, causing average soil heat flow to sometimes be too small (resulting too small a sensible heat flux and too large a latent heat flux) or too large (resulting in too large a sensible heat flux and too small a latent heat flux). Investigation of g4 will indicate when these conditions occurred and the likely effect on sensible and latent heat fluxes.

Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE13.b1
Description Soil Temperature #4 produced noisy measurements, resulting in quantities calculated from it to be of suspect quality. This condition normally occurred early in the GMT day. Sensible (h) and latent (e) heat fluxes were not normally greatly affected. Average surface heat flow was normally slightly underestimated.

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.

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E13 - pressure calibration
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE13.b1
Description In the original Campbell CR10 software provided by the vendor (version 1), the EBBR had incorrect calibration pressure sensor slopes and offsets. The slopes and offset was carried through into version 2 of the software and was not discovered by the mentor (me) until sometime later. The calibration and slope did not deleteriously affect calculations in the program since only a four percent reduction in atmospheric pressure measurement resulted (the calculations are not very sensitive to small errors in pressure). The vendor does not recall how the wrong calibrations came to be used. Version 4 of the CR10 program includes the proper calibration and offset. This remedies the apparent offset problem (it was actually a calibration and offset problem). In comparisons with the co-located SMOS pressure sensor, the difference between the SMOS and EBBR pressure values appeared almost constant with time, hence the assumption of an offset problem. However, the EBBR pressure sensor offsets are so large (a consequence of tailoring the calibration curve to a small range of elevations in which the calibration applies) that the very small error in slope was difficult to recognize. The outputted pressure values for the EBBR system can be corrected with the following information and equations. Old Slope Old Offset New Slope New Offset 0.01952 81.24 0.02031 81.27 Correct Pressure = ((Current Pressure Data - 81.24)*0.02031/0.01952) + 81.27 = 1.04047*(Current Pressure Data) - 3.258

Subject: SGP EBBR E13 - E13 EBBR AEM Home 30 Offset or AEM in Mid Position
Affected Datastreams: sgp5ebbrE13.b1
Description The AEM stopped before reaching the end of it's travel, causing the home signals to be between 0 and 3 during part of this period. The AEM home30 signal is offset by approximately 25 during part of this period; it appears that the electronics of the AEM is adding the home15 and home30 voltages together when the AEM is in the home30 position. All gradient data, sensible heat flux, latent heat flux, and the Bowen ratio are incorrect during these conditions.

Affected Datastreams: sgp5ebbrE13.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.

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E13 - Annual Calibration changeout
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE13.b1
Description On May 24, 1996 the changeout for annual calibration occurred at E13, Central Facility, OK. Between 1800 and 2130 GMT no data was remotely collected. Furthermore, 5 minute data inbetween 1800 and 2130 is incorrect, 15 minute data between 1800 and 2130 is incorrect, and 30 minute data for 2130 GMT is incorrect. A large jump in soil moisture appears in the data after the installation was completed (the soil bags holding the probes had a greater than ambient soil moisture). Soil measurements indicated greater than ambient soil moisture until a rain just after 0600 GMT on 1 June saturated the soil; after this period the probes reflected actual soil moisture conditions. The larger than normal soil moistures have some impact on the soil heat flux during this time of year, and thus soil heat flux from the soil flow plates and soil temperature probes, as well as average soil heat flux, computed sensible and latent heat fluxes; these quantities should be considered to be incorrect from 24 June at 2130 GMT until about 1200 GMT on June 1. Because of communication problems, data is missing from the time of the EBBR installation until 29 May 1996 at about 1815 GMT. This data may be recovered from the sneakernetted data set.

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 periods indicated.

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E13 - incorrect meteorological observations
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE13.b1
Description EDITOR'S NOTE: This DQR refers ti data collected by the EBBR at E13 prior to the begin date of regular ARM data. At that time, the data streams which contain the EBBR.E13 data were named Dsgp15ebbr1.a0 Dsgp30ebbr1.a1 Dsgp5ebbr1.a0 These data are not readily available from the ARM archive, but can be made available by special request. The actual time range of the problem described here is 930417.1200-930422.1730. Beginning at 1200 UTC on 17 April 1993, EBBR1, Central Facility, outputs ramped to extreme values, some positive, some negative. These outputs ended their ramping approximately 3 hours later. Comparison with SMOS data indicate that no time averaged outputs from EBBR1 were consistent with the SMOS after 1200 UTC. It appears that the averaging instruction in the CR10 data logger had been corrupted. On 22 April site operations, at my request, tried to reenter the software; this attempt was completely unsuccessful, indicating that the CR10 probably had other problems as well. EBBR1 was offline from 1730 UTC on 22 April until 1400 UTC on 23 April, when a new CR10 was installed and the software downloaded successfully. Since a SDS utility for extracting real time data from the CF SMOS had not been established, EBBR1 was being used for weather observations. All EBBR1 measurements of meteorological quantities during the period above are invalid.

Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE13.b1
Description This condition occurred most of the time during the indicated period (hence color yellow). The left air temperature was incorrect only when the AEM was in the home 30 position. This only affected the bottom air temperature calculation. However, it made the latent heat flux, sensible heat flux, and Bowen ratio incorrect. The sensor was improperly inserted into the aspirator shield and was pinched between the shield and the T/RH probe. When the AEM was in the home30 position, the aspirator hose position may have caused the sensor to short to ground.

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E13 - incorrect home signal
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE13.b1
Description EDITOR'S NOTE: This DQR refers to data collected by the EBBR at E13 prior to the begin date of regular ARM data. At that time, the data streams which contain the EBBR.E13 data were named Dsgp15ebbr1.a0 Dsgp30ebbr1.a1 Dsgp5ebbr1.a0 These data are not readily available from the ARM archive, but can be made available by special request. The actual time range of the problem described here is 921230.0000-930423.1200. EBBR1, Central Facility reported incorrect home value signals from 30 December 1992 through 23 April 1993. The home signals are used in the calculation of fluxes by the CR10 data logger. The fluxes for this period are thus invalid as reported and must be recalculated from the archived 15 minute data. The proper home signals are less than 35 for 30 minute home signal and greater than 35 for 15 minute home signal. Home signals were the same value for 15 minute and 30 minute during the period of interest, although they were not a constant value. The chronology of the situation is reported below. On 7 April 1993 I noticed the problem in the A0 data. On 30 December 1992, the automatic exchange mechanism (AEM) of the Central Facility EBBR froze up with ice and stopped working (surmised from looking at the EBBR1 data). This caused a fuse to blow and stop the mechanism from operating. However, one channel of the CR10 data logger was apparently damaged in the process. The condition of the AEM only, was noticed on 4 January 1993 by site operations personnel. The blown fuse was replaced, which started the AEM working; but AEM home signal values between 30 Dec and 04 Jan were around zero. Home values remained around zero until at least January 8, 1993. I have a gap in data archived at ANL between 8 and 15 January 1993, during which I do not know quite what was happening. On 11 January 1993 site operations personnel found that the EBBR1 battery was run down and the EBBR thus was not working. A new battery was installed. On 15 January the home values were about 34. I am assuming that they became 34 upon installation of the new battery on 11 January. Until at least 15 January the home signals stayed around 34. After that period the home signals became greater than 35 and generally were around 36. Only occasionally (a few hours here and there)were the home signals just above or below 35 to produce the proper flux outputs. On 23 April 1993, at my direction (and after a week of tests on other parts of the system), the CR10 data logger was replaced. This solved the problem. In fact, previous to this I had suggested reloading the software into the previous CR10, but the CR10 would not accept it; as soon as the machine was deactivated before that procedure it stopped working altogether. I find it amazing that it worked at all, although all data other than the home signals, and the calculated quantities dependent on them looked perfectly acceptable during the period of interest; there is no evidence that the CR10 was malfunctioning in other areas. The road to restoring the 30 Dec to 23 April data would be a rocky one, as each 15 minute data period would have to be examined to determine the proper position of the sensors on the AEM. However, it is possible to reconstruct most of the 30 minute calculated values from the 15 minute data.

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E13 - solid moisture correction
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE13.b1
Description In the original EBBR software (Version 1) for the Campbell CR10 at the Central Facility (E13), adjustment of the soil moisture for soil type was performed differently than for the other EBBR systems. This was supposed to have been changed prior to installation (according to the vendor), but the change was not made. This adjustment was carried into Version 2 and was not discovered by the mentor (me) until later. A polynomial is used to adjust the measured soil moisture for differences between the soil type at the location of installation (clay-loam assumed) and the soil type (sand) used in the calibration of the soil moisture sensor. The adjustment in the E13 EBBR only, was computed on the basis of a sandy-loam soil. Presently, a clay-loam soil type is assumed for each EBBR location. Soil types at the extended facilities have not been characterized yet, although there are hopes of doing so in the future. The effect of using a polynomial for sandy-loam soil instead of clay-loam soil is to decrease the resultant soil moisture values by approximately 14.5% when the clay-loam polynomial would indicate a soil moisture of 28.3%, and by approximately 38.3% when the clay-loam polynomial would indicate a soil moisture of 6.3%. The normal range of soil moisture at the EBBR sites is approximately 3% to 35%. The effect of the soil moisture decreases above on the adjustment to soil heat flux plate measurements is less than 1.0%. The effect on the change in energy storage in the soil (determined from the change in soil temperature over time) is a 10% decrease for a soil moisture of 28.3% and a decrease of 13.0% for a soil moisture of 6.3%. The change in energy storage is typically 5% of the total surface energy budget during mid-day and 25% at night. Therefore, the soil type adjustment error in the Central Facility EBBR resulted in approximately a 0.5% error in the surface energy budget during mid-day and 2.5% at night. These are small and acceptable errors and should not cause one to need to recalculate energy budget values.

Description On Friday 2 November, 1995 the instrument heaters were switched on. By 4 November, the solar panel was not able to maintain the battery voltage for the cold night conditions that existed. On Monday, 5 November the heaters were turned off, but the poor condition of the battery did not allow it, once partially drained, to recharge sufficiently for nighttime conditions.

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E13 - T/RH Check
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE13.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: 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020, 2025, 2030, 2035, 2040, 2045, 2050, 2055, 2100, 2105 15 minute: 2015, 2045, 2100, 2115 30 minute: 2030, 2100 (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.

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E13 - failure of sensors
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE13.b1
Description A lightning strike to the central cluster area shortly after 0800 GMT on July 17 caused failure of several EBBR sensors: both humidity probes, the barometer, soil heat flux #3, soil moisture # 1 and the wind direction. These failed sensors caused sensible, latent, and average soil heat flux to be incorrect until site operations performed maintenance on July 24th. Site Operations found a loose connection from soil moisture probe #1, removed barometer SN 6578 and replaced it with SN 6507, removed soil heat flux sensor #3 with SN 923022 and replaced it with SN 933199, repositioned the wind direction sensor - which was rotated approximately ninety degrees clockwise from its proper position, and removed the right humidity probe SN 460412 and replaced it with SN 460428.

Site Operations personnel replaced the sensor on December 30, 1994. The times and incorrect data fields are listed below. Only half hour times are listed.

However, this would require considerable effort. The process for doing so is therefore not stated here. Contact the mentor for more information if neccesary.

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E13 - Battery Voltage Drop
Affected Datastreams: sgp5ebbrE13.b1
Description Sometime before August 16, 1995 the AC/DC converter was switched off and the instrument heaters were switched on. The solar panel was not able to keep the battery voltage up under these conditions. Much of the data for the periods indicated is incorrect, especially data from the sensors that require 12 volts DC power. The data would have to be inspected to determine what data is correct and what is incorrect. It would be safest to exclude all data from those periods from any analysis. Site operations switched the heaters off and turned the converter back on on August 21, 1995. As reported in a recent DQR, the fluxes from the EBBR are incorrect presently because of a malfunctioning T/RH probe; no spares are presently available.

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E13 - Sensible and Latent Heat Fluxes Incorrect (AEM failure)
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE13.b1
Description The AEM was stuck in the home 30 position most of this period. Therefore, the sensible and latent heat fluxes are incorrect during most of this period.

Subject: SGP/EBBR - Incorrect Units for Soil Heat Capacity (cs1, cs2, cs3, cs4, cs5) in 30EBBR Header
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE13.b1
Description The units for Soil Heat Capacity (cs1, cs2, cs3, cs4, cs5) in the EBBR 30 minute netcdf header have been incorrect from the beginning of processing the data into netcdf files. The correct units are MJ/m^3/C. This does not affect the data quality. (NOTE: The actual begin date of some of these data streams is as early as 7/4/93. This DQR applies to all 30m EBBR data.)

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E13 - Net Radiation Too Large
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE13.b1
Description The EBBR Net Radiation (Rn) values maintained a ~200 Wm^-2 reading because of poor cable lead connections. Sensible and latent heat fluxes were therefore overestimated. Sensible (H) and latent heat (LE) fluxes can be estimated in the following way: H (new) = H/[1 + (EBBR Rn - SIRS net radiation)/SIRS net radiation] LE (new) = LE/[1 + (EBBR Rn - SIRS net radiation)/SIRS net radiation]
Measurements
  • latent_heat_flux (Latent heat flux)
  • net_radiation (Net radiation)

1995-10-06 00:00:00 1995-10-06 23:59:00 Suspect
Subject: SGP/EBBR/E13 - 3-month Check
Affected Datastreams: sgp5ebbrE13.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. Time of the check is not known, so the entire day has been flagged as suspect.

  • rh_bottom_fraction (Bottom relative humidity (fractional))
