Subject:	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, site 1(g1) average surface soil heat flow(ave_shf) latent heat flux(e) 5 cm soil heat flow corrected for soil moisture content, site 1(c_shf1) h(h) 5 cm soil heat flow, site 1(shf1) sgp30ebbrE8.a1: average surface soil heat flow(ave_shf) h(h) soil heat flow, site 1(g1) 5 cm soil heat flow, site 1(shf1) latent heat flux(e) 5 cm soil heat flow corrected for soil moisture content, site 1(c_shf1) sgp15ebbrE8.b1: Soil heat flow 1(mv_hft1)

Description:	The EBBR barometer did not agree with the SMOS at all times. However this problem only rarely affected the sensible and latent heat flux values. Replacement of the barometer on 29 july 2003, 12 aug 2003, and 26 aug 2003 caused some obvious disruption in data flow.

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.

DataStreams:	sgp15ebbrE8.b1, sgp30ebbrE8.b1, sgp5ebbrE8.b1
Description:	The top dome of the net radiometer was cracked and water had gotten inside it, so net radiation, and sensible and latent heat fluxes were incorrect.

DataStreams:	sgp15ebbrE8.b1, sgp30ebbrE8.b1, sgp5ebbrE8.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:	sgp15ebbrE8.b1, sgp30ebbrE8.b1, sgp5ebbrE8.b1
Description:	The AEM hung in one position frequently and sometimes for many days during this period While the AEM was not switching, the sensible and latent heat fluxes and gradient measurements were incorrect.

DataStreams:	sgp15ebbrE8.b1, sgp30ebbrE8.b1, sgp5ebbrE8.b1
Description:	The flux and gradient measurements were often incorrect when the AEM did not function properly. The user needs to inspect the data (particularly the home signals) to determine when the AEM was and was not working.

DataStreams:	sgp15ebbrE8.b1, sgp30ebbrE8.b1, sgp5ebbrE8.b1
Description:	The left humidity was intermittently incorrect, therefore the sensible and latent heat fluxes were also.

DataStreams:	sgp15ebbrE8.b1, sgp30ebbrE8.b1, sgp5ebbrE8.b1
Description:	The left humidity sensor produced large spikes frequently. This resulted in incorrect measurements of vapor pressure gradient and thus calculations of sensible and latent heat flux.
