Subject: SGP/EBBR/E20 - EBBR 3 Month Checks - 10 EFs
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE20.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 periods indicated.
Measurements
  • temp_trh_top (Top T/RH sensor temperature)
  • bowen_ratio (Bowen ratio)
  • rh_top_fraction (Top relative humidity (fractional))

Subject: SGP/EBBR - EBBR E20 Data Incorrect from SHF #5
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE20.b1
Description Much of the SHF #5 data is incorrect during the period. Apparently, the PM crew dislodged something, since the problem began during J-panel changeout the 4/7/99 PM. At the 7/21/99 PM, the reference temperature was repaired and reseated. At that time the SHF #5 data became correct again; the two events are probably related only in that other connections, including that of the SHF #5, were probably reseated at the same time. The report of the PM activity is not detailed enough to determine the exact causes and fixes. The incorrect SHF #5 data can be identified by it being an order of magnitude larger than the values from the other soil heat flow sensors. Affected data are: 5 minute: none 15 minute: mv_hft5 30 minute: shf5, c_shf5, g5, ave_shf, e, h

Subject: Controlled burn at E12 on 3/20/97 and affected data
Affected Datastreams: sgpsirosE12.a1
Description DQR No: Platforms: sgpsirosE12 sgpebbrE12 Subject: Controlled burn at E12 on 3/20/97 and affected data Date Submitted: 3/31/97 Submitted By: Mike Splitt ___ Instrument Mentor ___ EST Member ___ Science Team Member _x_ Other _Site_Scientist_Team_ For questions or problems, please contact the ARM Experiment Center at 509-375-6898 or via email at problems@arm.gov. Platform/Measurement: What level data: (raw,a0,a1,b1,c1 etc): all levels What location was the data collected at: sgp E12 Period of time in question Begin Date 3/20/97 Time 22:55 (GMT) End Date * Time : (GMT) * The "end date" is not necessarily in need of definition. The EBBR data appears to be directly affected for a period of about one hour. The effect on the local shortwave albedo will be longer lasting and could be said to "end" when the vegetative state recovers to being representative of similar areas. Data should be labeled: ___ questionable ___ All data fields affected ___ incorrect ___ Only some data fields affected ___ wrong calibration _x_ others Discussion of Problem: This report is reflective of a change in environmental conditions thought to be worth noting at E12, Pawhuska, and does not concern any issue of substandard sensor performance. A contolled burn was conducted at the the Pawhuska Extened Facillity (E12) by the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve. The Preserve director, Bob Hamilton, contacted the ARM SGP Site prior to the activity which allowed Site Operations to take precautionary steps. Danny Nelson reported the following activities by Site Operations: 1) Site Ops cut and removed all dried grass within the EF fence and also to a 10' perimeter around the outside of the fence. Final grass height was 1-3". This was done on Monday the 17th of March. 2) Tallgrass Prairie Preserve personnel put down a 10' wet line around our EF prior to the burn on the 20th, so the EF area was not burned. 3) Site Ops had originally planned to deploy a field crew to inspect the site on the day following the burn. TPP director Bob Hamilton had agreed to call us the morning of the burn, but didn't actually call us until this morning; the day following the burn. Due to the short notification and prior commitment of personnel, Site Ops will not be able to travel to the site until Monday or Tuesday of next week. John Shatz was given the following information about the duration of the burn: >Bob Hamilton called and indicated that they did a control burn of the >Tall Grass Prairie yesterday(3-20-97). He indicated that the fire in >our area lasted between 4:55 PM to 5:40 PM. He also said that they >plan to put this control burning on a two to three year cycle. Affect on ARM Data: Review of the EBBR temperature data (the sensor in the lower position) shows a dramatic increase of temperature from 26 to 37 Celsius in a 10 minute period. The temperatures appear to have been affected for approximately 1 hour. Analysis of the broadband shortwave albedo during this period reveals changes that appear to be related to the burn. The following is a listing of the daily average shortwave albedos (caluclated by running a linear regression fit on the "curve" created by plotting the upwelling shortwave vs. the downwelling shortwave values from the E12 SIROS broadband instrumentation): Date Broadband Shortwave Albedo ________ ____________________________ 3-14-97 .171 3-15-97 .171 3-16-97 .169 3-17-97 .166 3-18-97 .135 3-19-97 .171 3-20-97 .174 3-21-97 .141 3-22-97 .143 3-23-97 .148 3-24-97 .147 The grass cutting activity at the EF does not appear to be responsible for the abledo change on 3-18; this is likely related to the drizzle and overcast sky conditions in the area on that day. Note that the albedo recovers to previous values by the next day. The burn occured late on the 20th, and it appears the albedo after the burn sustained a more long-lasting decrease in value. Examination of both the upwelling and downwelling solar irradiance indicates that the albedo change was a resultant of the decrease in upwelling irradiance, as the downwelling values were comparable to other sites.

The times of incorrect data and the affected quantities are shown below. Some of the ts4 values during the listed periods appear to be correct, although the change in energy storage values appear to indicate otherwise. 18 July: 0400-1400 GMT 19 July: 0430-0500, 0730-1500 GMT 29 July: 0700-1630 GMT 15 minute: rr_ts4 30 minute: ts4, ces4, g4, ave_shf, e, h Sensible, latent, and soil heat fluxes need to be recalculated using the change in energy storage of probes 1-3 and 5, as follows. ave_shf = (g1 + g2 + g3 + g5)/4 e = -(q + ave_shf)/(1 +bowen) h = -(e + ave_shf +q)

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E20 - Six Month Checks
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE20.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 above.

Description After the 3 December 99 lightning strike, the humidity portion of the right T/RH probe drifted downwards at times, causing vapor pressure gradients to be incorrectly measured. Therefore, sensible and latent heat fluxes were also incorrect.

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E12 - Battery Voltage Low - Fluxes Affected
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE12.b1
Description The battery condition deteriorated over time so that the solar panel was not always able to keep the battery voltage high enough to produce correct home signal values. The home 15 signal was too low much of the period above, with home 30 being low also occasionally. The home signal qc checks should be consulted to determine which half hour values of sensible (h) and latent (e) heat fluxes are incorrect; no other data values were affected. The first occurrence of low home 15 signal appears to be 0630 GMT on 13 July 1996. Battery voltage did not drop low enough to cause any sensors to stop functioning. The battery was replaced on 9 October 1996 at 2000 GMT, during annual calibration changeout of the entire EBBR unit (the mentor assumes that the battery was replaced - no instrument maintenance reports are available for that time).

Affected Datastreams: sgp5ebbrE20.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/E39 - EBBR Flux Measurements Sometimes Incorrect for Southerly Winds
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE39.b1
Description When the wheat was at it's peak and for southerly winds, the EBBR flux measurements reflected combined fluxes from both the grass between the EBBR and the wheat and the wheat itself. The EBBR AEM height was not high enough to capture fluxes from just the wheat for southerly wind directions. EBBR fluxes for northerly directions (from grass) were consistent with the ECOR measured fluxes. The EBBR AEM was raised on 2 Aug 2016 and fluxes from southerly directions have been similar to those from the ECOR since then.

Subject: SGP Site Power Outage Due to Winter Storm
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/E12 - Miscellaneous Problems Affecting Data
Affected Datastreams: sgp5ebbrE12.b1
Description Three hardware problems occurred at E12, Pawhuska, OK in late August 1994. On August 12 the wind direction sensor malfunctioned. Therefore, all wind direction, sigma, and resultant wind speed values for the period above are incorrect. The wind direction sensor was replaced on August 31. Affected data are: 5 minute: wind_d, sigma_wd, res_ws 15 minute: mv_wind_d 30 minute: wind_d, sigma_wd, res_ws. Water accumulated in the AEM motor box and apparently caused a reduction in the voltage level of the home signal (battery condition was very good and so was not the cause); by late August 27 the hom30 level had fallen below the minimum qc check level. The AEM continued to exchange properly. The minimum qc level check is intended to help detect either a non-operating AEM or low battery condition. The Campbell CR10 software operates properly unless the hom30 signal is thirty-five or greater. So the low hom30 values do not result in any incorrect data!!!. I point this out because this situation demonstrates a condition flagged by the qc checks, even though no effect on the data has occurred. The AEM box was dried out and new dessicant placed in it on August 31. On August 28, 1994 the left AEM housing ventilation fan ceased to operate because of clogging of the ventilation system with debris. Fifteen minute data seems to indicate that the fan stopped operating just before 1245 GMT. This is at least the third such incidence of clogging this summer at different EBBRs. The clog was removed and ventilation restored on August 31. The lack of ventilation caused improper measurements of temperature and relative humidity in the left housing (these are quite obvious in the 15 minute data but difficult to detect in the 30 minute data) and therefore incorrect values of sensible and latent heat. Affected data are: 5 minute: tair_top, tair_bot, thum_top, thum_bot, hum_top, hum_bot, vp_top, vp_bot 15 minute: rr_thum_l, mv_hum_l, tair_l 30 minute: tair_top, tair_bot, thum_top, thum_bot, hum_top, hum_bot, vp_top, vp_bot, bowen, e, h.

Description On the night of November 10-11, a north-south line from south central Kansas through south central Oklahoma received snow and freezing rain and experienced below freezing temperatures. This caused the EBBR automatic exchange mechanism (AEM) to stop exchanging temporarily. Note that temperatures, relative humidities, and vapor pressures are not affected; these are correct as measured, but the height at which the measurements occurred must be determined from the home signal value.

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E20 - Reprocess: Questionable data in soil heat fluxes at E20
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE20.b1
Description Soil heat flux probes #4 had been indicating soil heat fluxes that were higher than the other four probes. It was decided to replace it. On November 24, 1993 Soil Heat Flux probe #4 was replaced, resulting in outputs more similar to the other four probes. This PIF does not invalidate previous measurements by the old probe #4, but only indicates data that is bad as a result of the replacement procedure. This procedure resulted in some bad data for the adjoining soil heat flux probes #3 and #5 also. Bad data for #3 includes the 1600 GMT half hour, and 5 and 15 minute periods between 1530 and 1600 GMT. Bad data for #4 includes half hour times of 1600 through 1900 GMT, with 5 and 15 minute data inbetween those times being invalid as well. Bad data for #5 includes half hour times of 1630 and 1700 GMT, with 5 and 15 minute periods inbetween those times being invalid as well. Corrupted 30 minute values of shf4, c_shf4, g4, ave_shf, h, and e, and corrupted 15 minute values of mv_hft4 resulted. The quantities shf4, c_shf4, g4, and mv_hft4 are bad data values and are not recoverable. The other quantities can be recalculated using the remaining functioning set(s) of soil sensors. Use the following equations: ave_shf = (gs summed)/n, where n is the number of probes functioning e = -(q + ave_shf)/(1 + bowen) where q is net radiation, and bowen is Bowen Ratio h = e * bowen

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E12 - Aspirator Failure
Affected Datastreams: sgp5ebbrE12.b1
Description On June 18, 1994 the aspirator fan in the EBBR at E12, Pawhuska stopped working. This situation was not discovered until a Preventative Maintenance visit by site operations personnel on June 22, 1994. I determined the time of the beginning of the malfunction from close inspection of the sensible and latent heat flux data. There is no aspiration status output for the EBBRs, nor is one presently possible. Wind speeds during most of the period listed were sufficient to provide some (although inadequate) aspiration to the temperature and relative humidity probes, making it difficult for most users of the data to be able to tell (except in a few circumstances) that the sensible and latent heat flux values produced were incorrect. All of the data fields listed below are incorrect for the period listed above. Latent and Sensible heat fluxes cannot be recomputed, as the measurements that they are based on are what was corrupted. 30 minute: tair_top, tair_bot, thum_top, thum_bot, hum_top, hum_bot, vp_top, vp_bot, bowen, e, h 15 minute: rr_thum_r, rr_thum_l, mv_hum_r, mv_hum_l, tair_r, tair_l 5 minute: tair_top, tair_bot, thum_top, thum_bot, hum_top, hum_bot, vp_top, vp_bot

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E20 - Reprocess: E20 Soil Probes #3 Cables Cut
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE20.b1
Description The cables going to #3 soil temperature, moisture, and heat flow probes were cut by a mower on 11 June 1997 and were repaired on 16 July 1997. Data for the temperature probe was offscale, for the soil moisture probe was a constant 10.1 (close to the actual), and for the soil heat flow was large negative during the period. The following are the data quantities that were affected: 15 minute: rr_ts3, mv_hft3, r_sm3 30 minute: ts3, ces3, shf3, c_shf3, cs3, g3, ave_shf, e, h Sensible, latent, and soil heat fluxes can be recalculated using the values from probes 1, 2, 4, and 5, as follows. ave_shf = (g1 + g2 + g4 + g5)/4 e = -(q + ave_shf)/(1 +bowen) h = -(e + ave_shf +q)

Affected Datastreams: sgp5ebbrE12.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 periods indicated.

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E20 - T/RH Check
Affected Datastreams: sgp5ebbrE20.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: 1520, 1525, 1530, 1535, 1540, 1545, 1550, 1555, 1600, 1605 15 minute: 1530, 1545, 1600, 1615 30 minute: 1530, 1600, 1630 (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/E12 - Net Radiometer Hemisphere Changes
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE12.b1
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.

Affected Datastreams: sgp5ebbrE12.b1
Description On August 4, 1994, a site operator discovered the ventilation fan of the EBBR to be stopped; the fan guard was clogged with animal remains. Inspection of the EBBR data from Pawhuska, OK, E12 indicates that this condition occurred from July 22 through August 4. Lack of ventilation of the temperature and relative humidity sensors attached to the AEM results in questionable measurements of air temperature, relative humidity, and all quantities calculated from them, including sensible and latent heat fluxes. The quantities that are questionable for the period indicated are: 5 minute: tair_top, tair_bot, thum_top, thum_bot, hum_top, hum_bot, vp_top, and 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

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E20 - Wrong Datalogger Program Installed
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE20.b1
Description ts4 went offscale and sm4 dropped to a constant 16% when a "new" program was installed on 3/30/05. The wrong program was installed. Because ts4 did not change with time, it did not mess up the calculation of e and h. e and h are slightly overestimated, but only by about 1%, far less than the system error. This is a rare type of instrument problem where the concequences are minimal. Therefore, e and h are not listed as incorrect in this DQR and are still usable during the stated period.

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E12 - AEM Failure
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE12.b1
Description As noted in a previous DQR, the home signal values at E12, Pawhuska, OK began decreasing in July. At the beginning of the period listed, the home 30 value dropped below 15; this causes a data quality message to be output in the site operations log as the stated acceptable range for home 30 is 15 to 34.999999. No data is incorrect as a result of this condition. The home 15 value dropped below 35 beginning July 21, 1995, sometime after 2000 GMT; this causes a data quality message to be output in the site operations log as the stated acceptable range for home 15 is 35 to 70. Data is incorrect as a result of this condition, that being 30 minute e, h, and bowen. The home values frequently dropped below their proper levels until 10 August, 1995, at some time after 1100 GMT, when the set screws in the AEM would no longer hold and the aspirator units were stranded inbetween the home positions. Thereafter, the reported home signals were negative. All 30 minute e, h, and bowen data are incorrect for this condition. On August 16, 1995, at about 1600 GMT, site operators determined that they could not repair the AEM on-site and they determined that the replacement AEM that they took with them has an electronic short. Therefore, the AEM was left in manual mode (no exchange). Replacement of the AEM will not take place until a working spare is available and all 30 minute e, h, and bowen data will be incorrect until then. I will submit another DQR or addendum when successful replacement of the AEM is accomplished.

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E18 - Pressure Incorrect
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE18.b1
Description The pressure sensor was replaced at E18 EBBR without the replacement being noted by Site Ops and therefore without an indication of serial number and thus correct calibration. The serial number of the sensor was observed during a PM (after months of confusion concerning the thing) and a several month search for the calibration sheet at ANL, the CF, and the manufacturer ensued. The sheet was finally found and I confirmed that an incorrect offset was being used (the same as used for the previous sensor). This is an easy error to make as there are two models of pressure sensors (with different calibration ranges) being used in the EBBR systems. On June 17, 1999 the correct offset was entered into the CR10 and storage module programming. The pressure for the period should be increased by 6.757 kPa. The result of the error is that Bowen ratio was underestimated by 6.8% on average, Latent Heat Flux was overestimated by 3.6% on average, and Sensible Heat Flux was underestimated by 3.6% on average. The errors in the fluxes are smaller than the estimated 10% error in the Bowen ratio flux measurement technique and therefore the data does not need to be reprocessed. Anyone performing area averages of pressure or looking at the variation in pressure over the CART Site should adjust the E18 EBBR pressure values for this period using the offset error indicated above.

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E20 - 3 Month Check
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE20.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.

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E18 - SHF #4 Measurements Too Low; Sensible and Latent Heat Fluxes Suspect
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE18.b1
Description Soil heat flow #4 was replaced at the beginning of this period. However, the soil heat flow measurements from that sensor were sometimes still lower than the lower limit imposed in the EBBR programming; sensible and latent heat flux were therefore deemed to be suspect during those times. The cause of the low values could not be determined, but the values are not reasonable for the vegetation type at EF18. To remedy the situation, the soil heat flow sensor calibration was changed so that the sensor provided measurements that resembled the other four soil heat flow sensor measurements. Soil heat flow measurements have been reasonable since the calibration change.

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E12 - Low home_15 Values
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE12.b1
Description The home signal values for the EBBR system installed at E12, Pawhuska, OK have generally been lower than for the other EBBR systems. However, during the period above the home_15 value was often lower than 35, which is then improperly interpreted by the CR10 software. A home_15 value less than 35 is interpreted as meaning that the AEM aspirated housings (which hold the temperature and relative humidity sensors) are in the opposite orientation to what they actually are. The AEM continues to exchange properly, but the resulting calculations of Bowen ratio, latent heat flux, and sensible heat flux are incorrect. On September 15, 1994 Site Operations personnel refurbished the wiring for the left housing and the home_15 signal returned to proper levels. When 30 minute home_15 values are below 35, the data fields listed below are incorrect. 5 minute: home, tair_top, tair_bot, thum_top, thum_bot, hum_top, hum_bot, vp_top, vp_bot 15 minute: mv_home 30 minute: home_15, tair_top, tair_bot, thum_top, thum_bot, hum_top, hum_bot, vp_top, vp_bot, Bowen, e, h It is possible to recalculate the Bowen ratio, e, and h by using the 15 minute data to compute the correct gradients of temperature and relative humidity (two 15 minute periods are averaged to give a half hour value); the orientation of the AEM is obvious in the 15 minute data, based on the home signal (which is largest for the first 15 minutes of the half hour). More information on performing this recalculation can be obtained from the mentor.

Description Soil moisture measurements from sets 2 and 5 were incorrect, leading to many other incorrect measurements calculated using them.

Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE12.b1
Description The upper dome of the EBBR net radiometers was punctured. After the puncture, water collected in the top and/or bottom dome. The water was removed and the dome was replaced during PM visits. In some cases, the puncture and water resulted in incorrect data. Comparison with net radiation values from surrounding EBBR sites and the SIRS is neccesary to determine if the EBBR net radiation data are correct or incorrect. It is often difficult to tell from the data when the punctures occurred, but they would have existed for no more than 2 weeks, since the domes are checked during each two-weekly PM visit. Incorrect net radiation data results in the latent heat flux and sensible heat flux also being incorrect.

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E20 - Soil Heat Flow Zero Under Unchanging Conditions
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE20.b1
Description This DQR is written to inform users of the data that the EBBR soil heat flow measurements of zero during much of 11 November 1995 at E20, Meeker, OK are correct values. Nearly unchanging conditions of net radiation, air temperature, and soil moisture, plus high wind speeds and near neutral atmospheric stability, resulted in almost unchanging conditions of soil temperature and ten and a half hours of zero soil heat flow output from all soil heat flow plates (some plates outputted zero for longer than this). The change in energy storage (determined from the change in temperature with time of the soil above the plates) was very nearly zero also during the period of interest. Such an extended period of zero soil heat flow and the accompanying unchanging soil and atmospheric conditions is quite rare and therefore worth noting here in case someone using the data might mistakenly think that the data is incorrect.

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E12 - Improved EBBR CR10 Program
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE12.b1
Description Effective 20050329.1830, the EBBR.E12 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 20050329, 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 sgp30ebbrE12.b1 data stream. The earlier version of the CR10 program was also used on previous EBBR datastream names (e.g. sgp30ebbrE12.a1).

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E20 - Temperature/RH Probes Malfunction and Replacement
Affected Datastreams: sgp5ebbrE20.b1
Description Beginning on approximately October 1, 1996 the calibration of the temperature sensor in one or both T/RH probes began to drift; temperatures started to drift higher than the thermocouple probes. This drift caused the upper and lower temperatures measured by the T/RH probe to be 2 to 10 degrees C greater than the thermocouple probes. Comparison with adjacent EBBR sites shows that the thermocouples were measuring properly. The problem affected the vapor pressure outputs primarily, making them as much as 1 kPa greater than they should be (vapor pressure is calculated from probe temperature and relative humidity). The effect on sensible and latent heat fluxes was negligible, although latent heat flux may be overestimated by about 5% presently and sensible heat flux underestimated by approximately the same percentage. Site operations replaced the T/RH probes on 8 May 1996; the new probes are performing well. The serial numbers of replaced probes are: Left 632415, Right 632356. New probe serial numbers are: Left 460428, Right 460412.

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E18 - Improved EBBR CR10 Program
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE18.b1
Description Effective 20050330.0000, the EBBR.E18 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 20050330, 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 sgp30ebbrE18.b1 data stream. The earlier version of the CR10 program was also used on previous EBBR datastream names (e.g. sgp30ebbrE18.a1).

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E12 - Reprocess: Soil Moisture 4 and 5 Incorrect
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE12.b1
Description Soil moisture measurements from sets 4 and 5 were incorrect, leading to many other incorrect measurements calculated using them. Average soil heat flow, sensible heat flux, and latent heat flux are affected; these can be recalculated using the remaining good sets of soil sensors as follows: ave_shf = (g1 + g2 + g3)/3 e = -(q + ave_shf)/(1 + bowen) h = -(q + e + ave_shf) Note: D020717.6 reports Soil temperature sensor #3 was also bad during this time, but for the very specific records affected by the soil moisture #4 and #5 reporting incorrectly, soil temp #3 was okay. Therefore the equations given are correct.

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E20 - Fan Stopped, T and RH Biases
Affected Datastreams: sgp5ebbrE20.b1
Description Another fan stoppage situation occurred. This is the fourth one in the last few months and may indicate a weakening of the fans that aspirate the temperature, relative humidity housings. The 15 minute data reveals that the stoppage occurred at approximately 1300 GMT on September 12. The left fan was cleaned out by site operations personnel and began running again at 1847 GMT on September 14. The 15 minute data during this period shows that during daytime, the left temperature was greater than the right temperature and that the left relative humidity was lower than the right relative humidity (a consequence of greater temperature), irregardless of the positions of the housings. The bowen ratio, sensible heat flux and latent heat flux for this period, as well as all left housing temperatures and relative humidities are incorrect. The data values that are incorrect are: 5 minute: tair_top, tair_bot, thum_top, thum_bot, hum_top, hum_bot, vp_top, vp_bot 15 minute: rr_thum_l, mv_hum_l, tair_l, 30 minute: tair_top, tair_bot, thum_top, thum_bot, hum_top, thum_bot, vp_top, vp_bot, bowen, e, h Because of the increased frequency of fan stoppage occurrences, I have submitted a work request to site operations to use the portable vane anemometer to check the flow of the housing fans on each EBBR and visually check (and clean if needed) the fans for debris that would restrict the flow. Included in this work request are instructions for checking the performance of the temperature and relative humidity sensors by manually putting the aspirator housings at the same height for a half hour period (so that two 15 minute and one half hour comparison result). The latter part of the work request is prompted by my close inspection of the Meeker data for the last few weeks. It is clear that significant biases have developed in the pairs of temperature and relative humidity sensors; left thermocouple ~0.5 deg. C greater than right thermocouple, left relative humidity ~5% lower than right relative humidity. Biases were expected in operating the systems over long time periods, and these appear to be the result of simple offsets, not changes in calibrations. At this point, I just want to determine how large the offsets are. Comparison of these offsets between EBBR units, in light of the different lengths of time that EBBR units and individual sensors have been deployed, may provide some interesting information on likely offset changes with time.

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E20 - Net Radiometer Hemisphere Changes
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE20.b1
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.

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E12 - T/RH Check
Affected Datastreams: sgp5ebbrE12.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: 1515, 1520, 1525, 1530, 1535, 1540, 1545, 1550, 1555, 1600, 1605, 1610 15 minute: 1515, 1530, 1545, 1600, 1615 30 minute: 1530, 1600, 1630 (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/E20 - AEM Home 30 Values Low
Affected Datastreams: sgp5ebbrE20.b1
Description The first EBBR to achieve annual calibration changeout was Meeker, Ok, E20. However, soon after changeout on August 9, 1995, the home 30 value dropped below 15, intermittently, to typically 0.3 to 0.5; this causes a data quality message to be output in the site operations log as the stated acceptable range for home 30 is 15 to 34.999999. However, no data is incorrect as a result of this condition. No replacement AEM is available, as the changeout kit AEMs are somewhat different from the initial units. Site operations hopes to have time to diagnose the problem on the next PM visit and correct the problem. At present, data quality is not jeopardized. I will submit another DQR or addendum when successful replacement of the AEM is accomplished.

Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE20.b1
Description On October 30, 1993, before 1300 GMT, the fuse in the AEM (Automatic Exchange Mechanism) of Meeker, Ok (E20) EBBR blew out. The AEM remained nonfunctional until the fuse was replaced just before 1600 GMT on November 12, 1993. This situation resulted in the following invalid data: 5 minute: tair_top, tair_bot, thum_top, thum_bot, hum_top, hum_bot, vp_top, vp_bot, home 15 minute: rr_thum_r, rr_thum_l, mv_hum_r, mv_hum_l, mv_home, 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, home_15, home_30 If the biases of the sensors were know, bowen, h, and e could be recalculated from the 15 minute and/or 5 minute data. Since we will not have any idea of what those biases are until an annual calibration of the sensors can take place (which may be months away), the recalculations cannot be performed at this time. Furthermore, it may be invalid to use sensor biases, if determined too far removed in time, due to the gradual calibration drift of some of the sensors.

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E12 - Wind Direction
Affected Datastreams: sgp5ebbrE12.b1
Description For much of the period above, a malfunction in the E12 EBBR wind direction sensor (insect larvae shorting out the circuit board) caused incorrect values for 5 minute res_ws, wind_d, and sigma_wd, 15 minute mv_wind_d, and 30 minute res_ws, wind_d, and sigma_wd. Wind direction normally indicated north (near 0 or 360 degrees); there were some times during the period when wind directions looked good, but the lack of variation in direction and sigma implies that the data is suspect. Therefore, it would be wise to flag all of the values listed above during the entire time period as incorrect.

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E18 - Reprocessed and Corrected: E18 EBBR Net Radiometer Calibration
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE18.b1
Description DATA REPROCESSED and CORRECTED: Incorrect calibration for the net radiometer was present upon startup of a newly installed EBBR, resulting in bad 5 and 30 minute q values during this time period. Simple multipliers were applied to correct data, and the sensible and latent heat fluxes were recalculated. The data were archived in January 2017. Please retrieve the reprocessed data for use in your analysis. ORIGINAL DQR CATEGORY: Yellow (Suspect) REPROCESSED and CORRECTED DATA ARCHIVED:2017-01 REPROCESS IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: RID 227 --------------------------------------------------- --- ORIGINAL DQR DESCRIPTION --- --------------------------------------------------- When the CR10 program was loaded in the storage module of the newly installed EBBR unit at E18 on 10 September 1997, an incorrect calibration for the net radiometer was present. The incorrect calibration had apparently been entered into the storage module by the vendor before the unit was shipped. The .DOC file showed the correct calibration; therefore, we did not suspect a problem until comparisons with radiometers at other sites nearby were performed. The program with the correct calibration was entered on 18 June 1998. The 15 minute mv_q values were not affected. The 5 and 30 minute q values during the period above need to be corrected; multiply positive q values by 0.684, multiply negative values by 0.811; Sensible (h) and Latent Heat (e) fluxes for the period need to be recalculated with the equations below. e = -(q + ave_shf)/(1 + bowen) h = -(e + ave_shf + q)

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E12 - Six Month Checks
Affected Datastreams: sgp5ebbrE12.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.

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E12 - AEM replacement
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE12.b1
Description Please see DQR P950816.2, where this problem was first documented. As noted in a previous DQR, the home signal values at E12, Pawhuska, OK began decreasing in July. At the beginning of the period listed, the home 30 value dropped below 15; this causes a data quality message to be output in the site operations log as the stated acceptable range for home 30 is 15 to 34.999999. No data is incorrect as a result of this condition. The home 15 value dropped below 35 beginning July 21, 1995, sometime after 2000 GMT; this causes a data quality message to be output in the site operations log as the stated acceptable range for home 15 is 35 to 70. Data is incorrect as a result of this condition, that being 30 minute e, h, and bowen. The home values frequently dropped below their proper levels until 10 August, 1995, at some time after 1100 GMT, when the set screws in the AEM would no longer hold and the aspirator units were stranded inbetween the home positions. Thereafter, the reported home signals were negative. All 30 minute e, h, and bowen data are incorrect for this condition. On August 16, 1995, at about 1600 GMT, site operators determined that they could not repair the AEM on-site and they determined that the replacement AEM that they took with them has an electronic short. Therefore, the AEM was left in manual mode (no exchange). All 30 minute e, h, and bowen data are incorrect until the end of the period listed above. On 13 September 1995 site operations personnel replaced the AEM (old S/N 92005, new S/N 94008). The new AEM would not exchange when the right sensor was in the home position: this was confirmed on 14 September when site operations personnel again visited the site. However, soon after the site operations personnel left Pawhuska on 14 September (at 1810 GMT), the AEM started to exchange properly (data correct for 1900 GMT and after). The AEM continues to operate properly.

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.

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E12 - AEM Failure/Right Radiation Shield OFF
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE12.b1
Description On 18 November 1995 the AEM at E12, Pawhuska, OK stopped exchanging, with the right radiation shield at the bottom position. The 30 minute home signal reflects this condition. During the 21 November PM visit, the site operators also found that the right radiation shield was no longer attached to the AEM, but was dangling by its conduit. It is not clear whether both conditions occurred simultaneously. Comparison of E12 data with that at the Central Facility indicates that E12 data was correct on 17 November. The AEM had stopped exchanging because a transistor became unsoldered from the AEM circuit board. Site operators repaired this and reattached the right radiation shield to bring the system to operational status at 2130 GMT. All 30 minute latent heat (e), sensible heat (h), and Bowen ratio (bowen) data during the period above are incorrect.

Subject: SGP/EBBR/E20 - Improved EBBR CR10 Program
Affected Datastreams: sgp30ebbrE20.b1
Description Effective 20050330.1900, the EBBR.E20 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 20050330, 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 sgp30ebbrE20.b1 data stream. The earlier version of the CR10 program was also used on previous EBBR datastream names (e.g. sgp30ebbrE20.a1).
