Subject: | SGP/EBBR/E20 - Water in Net Radiometer, Surface Fluxes Incorrect |
DataStreams: | sgp5ebbrE20.b1, sgp30ebbrE20.b1, sgp15ebbrE20.b1 |
Description: | The net radiometer top dome was punctured by migrating birds. This alone does not cause incorrect net radiation measurements. However, when it subsequently rains, water collects in the bottom dome, causing the net radiation measurements to be too large during the day and too small at night. |
Suggestions: | There is no work around, as the Bowen ratio technique is dependent on the accuracy of the net radiation measurement. |
