SGP/EBBR/E19 - AEM Hung Inbetween Home Positions

The AEM hung inbetween home positions, producing a home signal of zero.

Sensible and latent heat fluxes during this period are incorrect.

SGP/EBBR/E19 - Reprocess: Negative Net Rad calibrations

The calibration for negative net radiation was incorrectly entered in the datalogger 
program.

SGP/EBBR/E19 - Improved EBBR CR10 Program

Effective 20050331.1600, the EBBR.E19 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 20050331, 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 sgp30ebbrE19.b1 data
stream.  The earlier version of the CR10 program was also used on previous
EBBR datastream names (e.g. sgp30ebbrE19.a1).

• average surface soil heat flow(ave_shf)
• h(h)
• latent heat flux(e)

SGP/EBBR/E19 - metadata corrections

On 20050723, a series of metadata corrections and additions were completed.  These 
metadata changes apply to all EBBR.E19 data collected by ARM back to the beginning of the data 
set in May 1997. 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 type
4) Correction of soil moisture units (from "by volume" to "gravimetric")

• base time(base_time)
