SGP/SWATS/E18 - Intermittent data
DataStreams:sgpswatsE18.b1
Description:
There is an erroneous measurement at 2052Z on the 11th. All obs should be disregarded and 
probably should be deleted from the file.

tsoil_W:
From 1007Z on the 7th to 1707Z on the 9th: tsoil_W data is missing or incorrect at the 5cm 
depth. From 1807 on the 9th to 1807 on the 10th, tsoil_W is completely missing and/or 
incorrect. From 1907 on the 10th to 2007 on the 11th, correct tsoil_W data is available 
except for missing data at the 15cm depth.

trise_W:
All trise_W data is incorrect or missing from 1007Z on the 7th to 1807Z on the 10th. From 
1907 on the 10th to 2007 on the 11th, trise_W data is missing at the 15cm depth.

tsoil_E:
From 1007 on the 7th to 1907 on the 9th, trise_E data is missing or incorrect except at 
the 5cm depth. From 2007 on the 9th to 1907 on the 10th, tsoil_E data is missing.

SGP/SWATS/E3 - Incorrect Soil Moisture Data
DataStreams:sgpswatsE3.b1
Description:
The temperature rise readings from all depths on both the east and west profilesare 
incorrect. This also causes the matric potential and water content data to be incorrect.

SGP/SWATS/E20 - Incorrect Soil Moisture Data
DataStreams:sgpswatsE20.00, sgpswatsE20.b1
Description:
Due to failure of an electronic component (apparently caused by the onset of 
precipitation), the temperature rise readings from both the west and east profiles (trise_W, trise_E) 
are incorrect at all depths. This also causes the matric potential (soilwatpot_W, 
soilwatpot_E) and water content (watcont_W, watcont_E) data to be incorrect.
Measurements:sgpswatsE20.00:
  • Raw data stream - documentation not supported

sgpswatsE20.b1:
  • Soil Water Potential, East Profile(soilwatpot_E)
  • Volumetric Water Content, West Profile(watcont_W)
  • Soil Water Potential, West Profile(soilwatpot_W)

SGP/SWATS/E20 - Reprocess: Changed Depth Dimension
DataStreams:sgpswatsE20.b1
Description:
The dimension "depth" in the netCDF files was incorrectly reported as 8, and has been 
changed. Newer files with the correct smaller depth dimension do not have extra placeholder 
values and thus are smaller in size.

SGP/SWATS/E3 - Sensor failure, 60cm E
DataStreams:sgpswatsE3.b1
Description:
The temperature rise readings from the 60-cm depth on the east profile (trise_E) were 
incorrect.  This problem also causes the matric potential (soilwatpot_E) and water content 
(watcont_E) data for the 60-cm depth to be incorrect.  The sensor began to behave 
erratically at 7:00 GMT on 07/10/2008 before an apparent failure at 10:00 GMT on 08/07/2008.  
Maintenance on 10/29 corrected the problem.

Values of tsoil_E at the 60 cm depth are not impacted by this problem.
Measurements:sgpswatsE3.b1:
  • Sensor Temperature Rise, East Profile(trise_E)
  • Volumetric Water Content, East Profile(watcont_E)
  • Soil Water Potential, East Profile(soilwatpot_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)

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.

Description:
After 12/20/2007, temperature rise values for all sensors (still operational at the time) 
were much too high, on the order of 10's of degrees C. Matric potential and water content 
data for these sensors were also incorrect.
