SGP/SWATS/E1 - Reprocess: Wrong Calibration
DataStreams:sgpswatsE1.00, sgpswatsE1.a1, sgpswatsE1.b1
Description:
Two sensor connections were switched. The East 125-cm sensor was plugged into the East 
85-cm sensor's connection, and vice versa. Technicians corrected the problem on 1440 GMT, 
08/02/00, and returned the instrument to service 10 minutes later at 1450 GMT. As the 
datalogger was confusing the 2 sensors, incorrect calibrations were applied.

The correct calibrations can be applied to the raw data to obtain the correct temperature 
rises, soil moisture, etc. However, this is a rather large amount of work to apply toward 
just 1 measurement profile.  This has been identified as a medium priority reprocessing 
task.
Measurements:sgpswatsE1.b1:
  • Soil Temperature, East Profile(tsoil_E)
  • East profile sensor serial numbers(serial_numbers_E)
  • Sensor Temperature Rise, East Profile(trise_E)
  • Soil Water Potential, East Profile(soilwatpot_E)
  • Volumetric Water Content, East Profile(watcont_E)

SGP/SWATS/E4  - Incorrect "trise", "soilwatpot", and "watcont"
DataStreams:sgpswatsE4.a1, sgpswatsE4.b1
Description:
The "trise" values are too high, therefore the dependent "soilwatpot" and "watcont" 
measurements are also incorrect.

For the first date range:
"trise_W", "trise_E", "soilwatpot_W", "soilwatpot_E", "watcont_W", and "watcont_E"
are incorrect for all 16 sensor locations (each depth on both profiles).

For the second date range:
"trise_W", "trise_E", "soilwatpot_W", "soilwatpot_E", "watcont_W", and "watcont_E" 
are incorrect for the lowest 8 sensor locations (the 60cm, 85cm, 125cm, and
175cm depths on both profiles).

removed from the data. The 190700 record in the data represents the

SGP/SWATS/E1 - Questionable Soil Moisture Data
DataStreams:sgpswatsE1.00, sgpswatsE1.b1
Description:
Between the 06GMT and 07GMT measurements on January 14th, it appears that some sort of 
non-atmospheric moisture source affected the 4 shallowest sensors (5-cm West & East, 15-cm 
West & East). No precipitation was recorded at the site, but data indicate a sharp 
increase in soil moisture that caused suspicious behavior that gradually lessened through 
January 23rd. Animal intrusion, but more probably adolescent mischief, is suspected.
Measurements:sgpswatsE1.b1:
  • Sensor Temperature Rise, East Profile(trise_E)
  • Soil Water Potential, East Profile(soilwatpot_E)
  • Sensor Temperature Rise, West Profile(trise_W)
  • Volumetric Water Content, East Profile(watcont_E)
  • Soil Water Potential, West Profile(soilwatpot_W)
  • Volumetric Water Content, West Profile(watcont_W)

SGP/SWATS/E5 - T_rise values too high
DataStreams:sgpswatsE5.b1
Description:
The temperature rise values (trise_W, trise_E) are too high (> 20 deg C).  Water potential 
is calculated from a rise (and subsequent drop) in temperature in the sensor that is 
normally ~1-5 degrees C.  When the T_rise is too high, the soil moisture data is dubious at 
best and unusable at worst.

Due to the high T-rise (from which water potential and water content are derived), the 
moisture data is unusable.
Measurements:sgpswatsE5.b1:
  • Soil Water Potential, East Profile(soilwatpot_E)
  • Sensor Temperature Rise, East Profile(trise_E)
  • Soil Water Potential, West Profile(soilwatpot_W)
  • Volumetric Water Content, East Profile(watcont_E)
  • Volumetric Water Content, West Profile(watcont_W)
  • Sensor Temperature Rise, West Profile(trise_W)

SGP/SWATS/E4 - Failure of T_rise channel
DataStreams:sgpswatsE4.b1
Description:
Negligible T_rise.  Soil temperature is OK, but due to lack of T-rise, there are no soil 
moisture measurements.
Measurements:sgpswatsE4.b1:
  • Sensor Temperature Rise, East Profile(trise_E)
  • Volumetric Water Content, East Profile(watcont_E)
  • Sensor Temperature Rise, West Profile(trise_W)
  • Soil Water Potential, West Profile(soilwatpot_W)
  • Soil Water Potential, East Profile(soilwatpot_E)
  • Volumetric Water Content, West Profile(watcont_W)
