SGP EBBR E8 - E8 EBBR Soil Heat Flow #1 Incorrect
DataStreams:sgp15ebbrE8.a1, sgp15ebbrE8.b1, sgp30ebbrE8.a1, sgp30ebbrE8.b1
Description:
Soil heat flow #1 was usually large negative or positive, 
and therefore incorrect.  Sensible and latent heat fluxes 
can be recalculated by using the four good sets of soil 
measurements for the energy balance.
Measurements:sgp15ebbrE8.a1:
  • Soil heat flow 1(mv_hft1)

sgp30ebbrE8.b1:
  • soil heat flow at the surface 1(g1)
  • average surface soil heat flow at the surface(ave_shf)
  • latent heat flux(e)

SGP/EBBR/E8 - Improved EBBR CR10 Program
DataStreams:sgp30ebbrE8.b1
Description:
Effective 20050322.1730, the EBBR.E8 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 20050322, 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 sgp30ebbrE8.b1 data
stream.  The earlier version of the CR10 program was also used on previous
EBBR datastream names (e.g. sgp30ebbrE8.a1).
Measurements:sgp30ebbrE8.b1:
  • average surface soil heat flow at the surface(ave_shf)
  • latent heat flux(e)
  • corrected sensible heat flux(h)

radiation, and sensible and latent heat fluxes were incorrect.
Measurements:sgp30ebbrE8.b1:
  • latent heat flux(e)
  • specific humidity(q)
  • corrected sensible heat flux(h)

sgp5ebbrE8.b1:
  • specific humidity(q)

SGP/EBBR/E8 - metadata corrections
DataStreams:sgp5ebbrE8.b1, sgp15ebbrE8.b1, sgp30ebbrE8.b1
Description:
On 20050723, a series of metadata corrections and additions were completed.  These 
metadata changes apply to all EBBR.E8 data collected by ARM back to the installation of the 
instrument in December 1992. Please see the current metadata for correct information.  These 
changes do not affect data values or quality.	

The changes are summarized below:
1) Update of "sensor location" information
2) Addition of installation dates for the systems
3) Correction of soil moisture units (from "by volume" to "gravimetric")

DataStreams:sgp5ebbrE8.b1, sgp15ebbrE8.b1, sgp30ebbrE8.b1

measurements of vapor pressure gradient and thus calculations of sensible and latent heat 
flux.

  • ratio of sensible/latent heat fluxes (Bowen ratio)(bowen)
