SGP/SWATS/E7 - Soil temperature irregular, 125cm E
DataStreams:sgpswatsE7.b1
Description:
The 125 cm E sensor was demonstrating temporal irregularities in its soil temperature 
measurements.  These irregularities consisted of dips and increases of around 2-4 C that 
typically started around 14:00 or 15:00 GMT on most days. On other days the values appeared 
somewhat noisy throughout the day. In both cases, the temporal changes did not compare 
well with the other sensors installed at E7.  

A bad fiber optic cable was replaced.
Measurements:sgpswatsE7.b1:
  • Soil Temperature, East Profile(tsoil_E)

SGP/SWATS/E10 - Soil temperature irregular, 25cm W
DataStreams:sgpswatsE10.b1
Description:
The 25 cm W sensor was demonstrating temporal irregularities and were noisy at times.  
These irregularities consisted of dips and increases of around 2-4 C that typically started 
around 14:00 or 15:00 GMT on most days. On other days the values appeared somewhat noisy 
throughout the day. In both cases, the temporal changes did not compare well with the 
other sensors installed at E10.

A broken wire was repaired for 25cm W sensor.
Measurements:sgpswatsE10.b1:
  • Soil Temperature, West Profile(tsoil_W)

SGP/SWATS/E27 - Incorrect soil temperature measurements
DataStreams:sgpswatsE27.b1
Description:
All of the tsoil measurements at this EF appear noisy and erratic at times, impacting all 
sensors and both profiles.
Measurements:sgpswatsE27.b1:
  • Soil Temperature, East Profile(tsoil_E)
  • Soil Temperature, West Profile(tsoil_W)

DataStreams:sgpswatsE19.b1
Description:
The tsoil measurements from the 35 cm E sensor at this site are slightly irregular and too 
noisy at times.

Subject:
SGP/SWATS/E1 - Instrument failure
DataStreams:sgpswatsE1.b1
Description:
The diurnal temperature change in the tsoil measurements from all sensors installed below 
5 cm at this facility appear questionable.  On a daily basis, the diurnal trends in the 
tsoil measurements from depths below 5 cm did not match the above ground tref measurements 
or the tsoil measurements from the 5 cm W sensor (the 5 cm E sensor has failed). The 
tsoil measurements from these deeper sensors began to decrease prior to solar noon nearly 
every day. Also, the magnitudes of the diurnal change in these instruments appear to be the 
same for all sensors (Normally, the diurnal changes in tsoil are damped as we progress 
deeper below the surface).  

Attempts to correct the problem were unsuccessful until the time of site decommissioning.  
This facility was decommissioned and maintenance efforts ceased 10/1/2009.
Measurements:sgpswatsE1.b1:
  • Soil Temperature, East Profile(tsoil_E)
  • Soil Temperature, West Profile(tsoil_W)

SGP/SWATS/E27 - Sensor failure, 125cm E
DataStreams:sgpswatsE27.b1
Description:
The 125 cm E sensor tsoil measurements were very erratic and much too high, and all trise 
values were reporting as slightly negative or -9999.  The issue started on 06/07 and 
corrected itself by 20:00 GMT the same day, but the problem returned on 06/10.  Connections 
were re-seated on 6/17 to resolve the problem.

  • Volumetric Water Content, East Profile(watcont_E)
  • Soil Temperature, East Profile(tsoil_E)

SGP/SWATS/E3 - Incorrect temperature rise data
DataStreams:sgpswatsE3.b1
Description:
The temperature rise readings from all depths on both the east and west profiles were 
incorrect, reading near zero. This also causes the matric potential and water content data to 
be incorrect.

  • Sensor Temperature Rise, East Profile(trise_E)
  • Volumetric Water Content, East Profile(watcont_E)
  • Soil Temperature, West Profile(tsoil_W)
