SGP/SWATS/E7 - Sensor failure
DataStreams:sgpswatsE7.00, sgpswatsE7.b1
Description:
First time range: The readings from the 35-cm depth on the east profile spiked out of 
range on 20040106 (YYYYMMDD). Soil temperature (tsoil_E) is incorrect at 0407 GMT, and all 
data (tsoil_E, trise_E, soilwatpot_E, watcont_E) are incorrect at 0407 and 0507 GMT.
Second time range: The sensor at the 35-cm depth on the east profile failed on 20040127 
around 1300 GMT. All data from this sensor are incorrect or missing until 20040208.

SGP/SWATS/E7 - Incorrect Soil Temp and Moisture Data

Description:
The soil temperature and temperature rise readings from all depths on both the east and 
west profiles (tsoil_W, tsoil_E, trise_E, trise_W) were incorrect. This also caused the 
matric potential (soilwatpot_E, soilwatpot_W) and water content (watcont_E, watcont_W) data 
to be incorrect. The reference temperature reading (tref) is suspect.

Description:
The temperature rise readings from the 35-cm depth on the east profile (trise_E) are noisy

incorrect from 7:07 GMT on 12/23 to 9:07 on 12/24. Temperature rise, soil-water potential, and

SGP/SWATS/E12 - T_rise higher than QC checks
DataStreams:sgpswatsE12.b1
Description:
T-rise way to high (~40 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.  Since this 
"out-of-bounds" t_rise is so high, the soil moisture data are practically unusable.
