Subject: | SGP/EBBR/E26 - Right Air Temperature Malfunction |
DataStreams: | sgp30ebbrE26.b1, sgp15ebbrE26.b1, sgp5ebbrE26.b1 |
Description: | The right air temperature probe malfunctioned again and produced incorrect data (outside of range) during some of the period indicated above. The cause of the problem is unknown. On 18 June site operations tightened the connection to the J-panel and repaired a broken aspirator fan wire. However, incorrect data resumed shortly after site operations left the site. Data continued to be incorrect during some times through July 5. No incorrect data was recorded from July 6 through July 17. The EBBR unit was changed out on July 17, 1996. The times of incorrect right air temperatures are easy to recognize from the EBBR data, so the precise times of incorrect data are not enumerated here. Typically, the top and bottom air temperature is out of range, resulting in the sensible heat flux being zero. The malfunction of the right air temperature probe results in incorrect Bowen ratio, sensible heat flux, and latent heat flux. The data values that are affected are: 5 minute: tair_top, tair_bot 15 minute: tair_r 30 minute: tair_top, tair_bot, bowen, e, and h |
