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.

trise_E:
From 1007 on the 7th to 1907 on the 10th, trise_E data is missing or incorrect.

SGP/SWATS/E19 - Sensor failure, 85cm E
DataStreams:sgpswatsE19.b1
Description:
The temperature rise readings from the 85-cm depth on the east profile are incorrect. This 
also causes the matric potential and water content data for the 85-cm depth to be 
incorrect.
