SGP/SWATS/E1 - Sensor failure, 85cm W
DataStreams:sgpswatsE1.b1
Description:

incorrect values.

Instrument removed from service 20091014.
Measurements:sgpswatsE1.b1:
  • Sensor Temperature Rise, West Profile(trise_W)
  • Soil Water Potential, West Profile(soilwatpot_W)

SGP/SWATS/E1 - Sensor failure, 25cm E
DataStreams:sgpswatsE1.b1
Description:
The soil sensor at the 25-cm depth on the East profile began reporting missing or 
incorrect values for all soil moisture measurements (trise, tsoil, soilwatpot, watcont).

Instrument removed from service 20091014.
Measurements:sgpswatsE1.b1:
  • Volumetric Water Content, East Profile(watcont_E)
  • Soil Temperature, East Profile(tsoil_E)
  • Sensor Temperature Rise, East Profile(trise_E)
  • Soil Water Potential, East Profile(soilwatpot_E)

Subject:
SGP/SWATS/E1 - Sensor failure, 5cm E
DataStreams:sgpswatsE1.b1
Description:
Both trise and tsoil for the 5cm E sensor began to drop out intermittently reporting both 
incorrect values and values of -9999 starting on 08/18/2007.  Since this date, there have 
been periods where values of -9999 have been reported continuously for months at a time, 
but the sensor always seems to come back eventually and report values that appear 
correct.  

Currently, this sensor is reporting normal values again but has failed as recently as 
10/08/08.  When this sensor is failing, it typically impacts tsoil_E, trise_E, soilwatpot_E, 
and watcont_E.  However, there are cases where tsoil_E appears OK while the other 
variables are incorrect.

Instrument was removed from service 20091014.
Measurements:sgpswatsE1.b1:
  • Volumetric Water Content, East Profile(watcont_E)
  • Soil Temperature, East Profile(tsoil_E)
  • Sensor Temperature Rise, East Profile(trise_E)
  • Soil Water Potential, East Profile(soilwatpot_E)

SGP/SWATS/E1 - Sensor failure, 85cm E
DataStreams:sgpswatsE1.b1
Description:
Both trise and tsoil for the 85cm E sensor dropped out reporting values of -9999 starting 
on 08/24/2005.  Interestingly, both this sensor and the one at 85 cm W (D040730.1) began 
to report data again June-August 2006.  Both sensors have reported values of -9999 after 
this brief period through the current date.  This problem impacts tsoil_E, trise_E, 
soilwatpot_E, and watcont_E. 

Instrument was removed from service 20091014.
Measurements:sgpswatsE1.b1:
  • Volumetric Water Content, East Profile(watcont_E)
  • Soil Temperature, East Profile(tsoil_E)
  • Sensor Temperature Rise, East Profile(trise_E)
  • Soil Water Potential, East Profile(soilwatpot_E)

SGP/SWATS/E1 - Sensor failure, 15cm W
DataStreams:sgpswatsE1.b1
Description:
Both trise and tsoil for the 15cm W sensor began to drop out intermittently reporting both 
incorrect values and values of -9999 starting on 05/29/2008.  Currently, this sensor is 
reporting mainly values of -9999 for all measurements with a few random incorrect values 
from time to time.  This problem impacts tsoil_W, trise_W, soilwatpot_W, and watcont_W.

Instrument removed from service 20091014.

  • Sensor Temperature Rise, West Profile(trise_W)
  • Soil Water Potential, West Profile(soilwatpot_W)
