SGP/EBBR/E20 - Pressure Sensor Data Incorrect
DataStreams:sgp15ebbrE20.b1, sgp30ebbrE20.b1, sgp5ebbrE20.b1
Description:
The E20 pressure sensor suffered
from spikes in pressure, which were related to 
increases in voltage during the day as the 
solar panels charged the battery.  These spikes
were not of a magnitude that would affect the 
30 minute surface fluxes.

Replacement of the pressure sensor solved the problem.

Description:
On 20050723, a series of metadata corrections and additions were completed.  These 
metadata changes apply to all EBBR.E20 data collected by ARM back to the installation of the 
instrument in April 1993. 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")
