SGP/ECOR/E5 - CO2 and Water Vapor Fluxes and Means Incorrect

The LI-7500 at E5 ECOR did not putting out data during this period.

Therefore, CO2 and H2O fluxes and means were incorrect during the period.

SGP/ECOR/E5 - Reprocess: Time shifted -7 hours

An inadvertant power outage caused the ECOR program to shut down abnormally.  When power 
was restored, the timestamps on the ECOR files were 7 hours behind the correct time and 
the site ID was not accessed from the ECOR configuration file resulting in site ID (05) 
being replaced with "AN".

These conditions caused the ECOR files to be unrecognizable and therefore are presently 
missing in the Archive.

Correction of the timestamp and ID in the files should allow them to be processed and 
added to the Archive.

SGP/ECOR/E5 - Flux Measurements Incorrect

The ECOR datastream was corrupted; this happens when the ECOR program produces a 
datastream of the wrong length (i.e., leaves one or more measurements out).

Fluxes and some other measurements are incorrect.

Note: Mentor reports reprocessing will not correct this problem.

• CO2 flux(fc)
• latent heat flux(lv_e)
• h(h)

SGP/ECOR/E5 - Flux Data Incorrect

CO2 flux (lv_e) and latent heat flux (fc) were incorrect because the sonic anemometer was 
not working.

• latent heat flux(lv_e)

• variance of c(var_c)

SGP/ECOR/E5 - Incorrect Sensible and Latent Heat Fluxes

Starting at approximately 4:00 GMT on 02/16, the ECOR suffered from the "garbled" data 
condition, a result of a serial communication failure. 

All sensible and latent heat flux measurements are incorrect during this condition.

• rotated covariance wq(cvar_rot_wq)
• latent heat flux(lv_e)
