Subject:
SGP/SWATS/E12 - Incorrect soil moisture
DataStreams:sgpswatsE12.b1
Description:
Temperature rise values were way to high (~40 deg C).  Water potential is calculated from 
a rise (and subsequent drop) in temperature in the sensor that is normally ~1-5 degrees 
C.  When the temperature rise is too high, the soil moisture data is dubious at best and 
unusable at worst.  Since this "out-of-bounds" t_rise is so high, the soil moisture data 
are practically unusable.

Soil temperature measurements were not affected.
Measurements:sgpswatsE12.b1:
  • Soil Water Potential, West Profile(soilwatpot_W)
  • Soil Water Potential, East Profile(soilwatpot_E)
  • Sensor Temperature Rise, West Profile(trise_W)
  • Volumetric Water Content, West Profile(watcont_W)
  • Volumetric Water Content, East Profile(watcont_E)
  • Sensor Temperature Rise, East Profile(trise_E)

SGP/SWATS/E19 - Sensor failure, 60cm E
DataStreams:sgpswatsE19.b1
Description:
The 60cm East profile sensor began reporting temperature rise values near 0 C. This 
problem continued until the old profile of sensors was disconnected and the new set of sensors 
was connected. The soil temperature measure was not impacted by this problem.
Measurements:sgpswatsE19.b1:
  • Volumetric Water Content, East Profile(watcont_E)
  • Soil Water Potential, East Profile(soilwatpot_E)
  • Sensor Temperature Rise, East Profile(trise_E)

SGP/SWATS/E20 - Sensor failure, 5cm E
DataStreams:sgpswatsE20.b1
Description:
The temperature rise readings from the 5-cm depth on the east profile are incorrect. This 
also causes the matric potential and water content data for the 5-cm depth to be 
incorrect. The soil temperature measurements were not affected.
Measurements:sgpswatsE20.b1:
  • Soil Water Potential, East Profile(soilwatpot_E)
  • Volumetric Water Content, East Profile(watcont_E)

Description:
Temperature rise values form the 125 cm West profile sensor began reporting values near 0 
C. This problem continued until the old profile of sensors was disconnected and the new 
set of sensors was connected. The soil temperature measure was not impacted by this problem.

Subject:
SGP/SWATS/E20 - Sensor failure, 15cm E
DataStreams:sgpswatsE20.b1
Description:
The temperature rise readings from the 15-cm depth on the east profile were incorrect (0 
or -9999) This also caused the matric potential and water content data for the 15-cm depth 
to be incorrect.

Soil temperature data measurements also failed 20060502.  No data from this sensor should 
be used at or beyond this date.
Measurements:sgpswatsE20.b1:
  • Soil Water Potential, East Profile(soilwatpot_E)
  • Volumetric Water Content, East Profile(watcont_E)
  • Soil Temperature, East Profile(tsoil_E)

SGP/SWATS/E20 - Sensor failures
DataStreams:sgpswatsE20.b1
Description:
Following a period of missing values (-9999) from 08/05/05-08/17/05, sensors at several 
depths failed.

Temperature rise values from the 60cm West and 85cm East profile sensors were very noisy 
after 08/17/05. These data, including matric potential and water content, were incorrect.

Temperature rise values from the 85cm West and 125cm East profile sensors are reported as 
0 after 08/17/05. Matric potential and water content data for these sensor were also 
incorrect.  Soil temperatures for these depths were unaffected.

Temperature rise and soil temperature measurements for the 60cm East and 125cm West 
profile sensors were reported as 0 or -9999 after 08/17/05. Matric potential and water content 
data for these sensors were also incorrect.
Measurements:sgpswatsE20.b1:
  • Soil Water Potential, East Profile(soilwatpot_E)
  • Volumetric Water Content, West Profile(watcont_W)
  • Soil Water Potential, West Profile(soilwatpot_W)

Subject:
SGP/SWATS/E27 - Incorrect serial numbers
DataStreams:sgpswatsE27.b1
Description:
The wiring at E27 from the Campbell Scientific 229-L sensors is backwards. This issue 
impacts the following variables but does not impact data quality: serial_numbers_W, 
serial_numbers_E.

All serial numbers stored in the serial_numbers_W variable apply to data stored in the 
trise_E and tsoil_E variables, and vice versa.  Thus, the user should be aware that the 
trise_W, trise_E, tsoil_W, and tsoil_E variables actually contain data from the opposite 
profile.
Measurements:sgpswatsE27.b1:
  • serial_numbers_E
  • serial_numbers_W

DataStreams:sgpswatsE27.b1
Description:
The wiring at E27 from the Campbell Scientific 229-L sensors is backwards. Matric 
potential and water content data are incorrect due to incorrect calibrations being applied to 
temperature rise sensor data.
