SGP EBBR E26 - Soil Heat Flow #3 Incorrect

Soil heat Flow #3 was incorrect (large negative).  Therefore
average soil heat flow, sensible heat flux, and latent heat flux were
also incorrect; these can be re-calculated using the remaining
correct soil heat flows.

• Average soil heat flow at the surface(surface_soil_heat_flux_avg)
• Heat flux, latent, at 1.5-m height, 30-min intervals(latent_heat_flux)
• soil_heat_flow_3

• soil_moisture_1_r
• soil_moisture_1_rr

SGP EBBR E26 - AEM Inbetween, Data Incorrect

While the AEM was inbetween the correct measurement positions the measurements from the 
two levels were incorrect.

The sensible and latent heat fluxes and Bowen ratio were therefore incorrect also.

• temp_air_top
• temp_trh_bottom
• temp_trh_top
• rh_top_fraction
• bowen_ratio
• rh_bottom_fraction

SGP EBBR E26 - Soil Heat Flow #5 Incorrect

Soil Heat Flow #5 was large negative during this period.

Therefore, calculated average soil heat flow, latent heat flux, and sensible heat flux 
were incorrect.  These measurements can be recalculated from the use of measurements from 
only soil heat flow sensors #1-4.

• Average soil heat flow at the surface(surface_soil_heat_flux_avg)
• Heat flux, latent, at 1.5-m height, 30-min intervals(latent_heat_flux)
• surface_soil_heat_flux_5
• soil_heat_flow_5

SGP EBBR E26 - Some Data Incorrect

Since soil temperature was not available for the previous half hour, soil energy storage 
could not be calculated properly for the indicated period.  The individual soil heat 
storage from the five soil sets, average soil heat flow, sensible heat flux, and latent heat 
flux are therefore incorrect.

SGP EBBR E26 - Low Battery Voltage

During the indicated the period the battery voltage often dropped 
to 10.4 volts or below.  At voltages less than 10.5 volts none of
the selected measurements can be considered to be correct.  The battery
charging capacity was insufficient to maintain voltage at night.

SGP/EBBR/E26 - Measurements Incorrect

Change of energy storage (CES) measurements (calculated from the change of soil 
temperature with time) are sometimes incorrect after a CR10 program restart because the beginning 
measurement of the averaging period is zero.  

Average soil heat flow, sensible heat flux, and latent heat flux were affected and cannot 
be recalculated.

SGP/EBBR/E26 - Multiplexer 2 Failure From High Temperature

Multiplexer 2 is failing during times of control box temperatures above 29 degrees C.  The 
failure begins in the last channel and progresses to lower channels as the temperature 
increases.  It has not yet been determined whether the failure is in the relays or a solid 
state component of the multiplexer.  This condition is probably due to the aging of the 
device and the millions of cycles that this 10 year old device has made.  More failures 
of this sort may occur in the future.  A cure is being sought aside from replacement of 
the multiplexers to prevent the problem.

The indicated measurements need to be inspected to determine which ones are usable.

SGP/EBBR/E26 - Multiplexer Problem

One of the multiplexers exhibited dropouts of the channels, beginning
with the last channel at temperatures above about 30 C and moving backward
through the channels as the temperature rose. High temperatures affected the
switching speed of the multiplexer.  This is the first time that this behavior has been 
documented in a Campbell Scientific multiplexer. The multiplexer had
been in continuous field use for 10 years and had experienced probably more
switching cycles than what is normally expected of the device in that period.

The multiplexer was replaced to solve the problem.

The net radiometer top dome was punctured by migrating birds.  This alone does not cause

day and too small at night.

SGP/EBBR/E27 - Missing data during system update

Some soil parameters were slightly incorrect since EBBR.E27 was 
                 installed in May 2003.  While the coefficients were being updated,
                 data collection was suspended resulting in missing data for the 
                 specified period.
                    No significant effects (1% or less) on the surface heat flux data 
                 would have occurred from using the slightly incorrect coefficients. 
                 Therefore, flagging of the surface flux data from the time of 
                 installation of E27 is unwarranted.

SGP/EBBR/E26 - Spark Gap Bad, Pressure Incorrect

In a trip to E26, I found that a bad spark gap through which the barometer was powered was 
causing pressure measurements to be incorrect.  The pressure readings oscillated with 
the voltage of the EBBR battery.  During daytime the voltage and thus the pressure would 
increase and vice versa during dark hours.

Apparently only the positive side of the power supply was properly connected through the 
spark gap and thus the voltage received by the pressure sensor was lower than required to 
power it properly.  Under this condition the perssure measurement varies with voltage 
level.  The pressure measurements therefore had a diurnal signature and usually were 
incorrect.  

The decreased pressure during most times would cause latent heat flux to be slightly 
overestimated and sensible heat flux to be slightly underestimated.

SGP/EBBR/E26 - Aging Pressure Sensor Output Changes
With Supply Voltage

The E26 EBBR pressure sensor experienced the poor internal voltage regulation problem 
experienced at other sites last year.  Aging of the internal voltage regulator caused the 
pressure output to drop by 1-2 kPa (0.1-0.5 kPa is normal) when the Sun rose and the solar 
panel goosed the battery voltage up.  

The sensible and latent heat fluxes were not significantly affected.

• Barometric Pressure(atmos_pressure)

• atmos_pressure_mv

• Barometric Pressure(atmos_pressure)

SGP/EBBR/E27 - Soil Moisture #5 Incorrect

The wrong CR10 program loaded from the storage module on 9/15/04.  During the previous 
change of program, an attempt was made to store the new program in the storage module; site 
ops techs did not notice that this attempt failed, leaving the old program in the storage 
module.  When power was cyled on 9/15/04, the old program with flat sm5 coefficients 
loaded into the CR10.  The "flat" coefficients resulted in the sm5 soil moisture hovering 
around 30%.

15 minute raw sm5 resistances were correct.

Average soil heat flow, sensible heat flux, and latent heat flux were not
significantly affected and so are not included in the list of incorrect measurements.

• soil_moisture_5

SGP/EBBR/E26 - Incorrect soil type coefficients used

The soil type coefficents for soil moisture were incorrect from the day
of the system installation on, making soil moisture values too large.

As a result, soil heat flows were overmeasured, and sensible and latent heat fluxes were 
underestimated.

SGP/EBBR/E26 - Improved EBBR CR10 Program

Effective 20050331.1700, the EBBR.E26 CR10 program was revised to improve 
the quality of the primary measurements as follows:
   
1) An RMS procedure is used to determine max and min limits of acceptable
soil heat flow.  This is applied to the individual soil sets.  Measurements
outside the limits are rejected and the measurements within the limits are
used to calculate the average soil heat flow.
   
2) Max and min limits are used to determine incorrect values of net
radiation, sensible heat flux (h), latent heat flux (e), and automatic
exchange mechanism (AEM) signal.  If AEM signal is outside the limits, h 
and e are set to 999s.  If net radiation is outside the limits, h and e are 
set to 999s. If h or e are outside the limits, h and e are set to 999s.
   
Virtually no incorrect soil measurement will affect the primary 
measurements of h and e.
   
By setting h and e to 999s, it can be easily seen that the primary 
variables are incorrect; no other interpretation is possible.
   
Prior to 20050331, the improved CR10 program was NOT in effect.  DQRs have
been submitted for known instances of incorrect soil measurements which
affected the quality of the primary measurements of h and e.
   
Note: the DQR begin date is the begin date of the sgp30ebbrE26.b1 data
stream.  The earlier version of the CR10 program was also used on previous
EBBR datastream names (e.g. sgp30ebbrE26.a1).

SGP/EBBR/E27 - Net Radiation Incorrect; Sensible and Latent Heat Fluxes Incorredt

Residual Moisture left in the top dome of the net radiometer after the 8/17/05 servicing
