Subject:
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)
