SGP/EBBR - EBBR E22 Moved, Data Missing/Incorrect
DataStreams:sgp15ebbrE22.b1, sgp30ebbrE22.b1, sgp5ebbrE22.b1
Description:
During, and as a consequence of, the relocation of E22 EBBR, some data
is missing or incorrect during the period above.  The data was 
sneakernetted on 3 Nov 99, so some of the data may have been recovered.
Some of the data during the period is incorrect as a consequence of
damage done by cattle during the period; inspection of the data is
required to determine incorrect data.

SGP/EBBR - EBBR E22 Net Radiation Incorrect
DataStreams:sgp30ebbrE22.b1, sgp5ebbrE22.b1, sgp15ebbrE22.b1
Description:
The upper dome of the net radiometer was broken, probably by migrating
birds, and water had drained into the bottom dome.  Since much of the data
is missing during the period, it is not clear exactly when the top dome was
broken during the period.  All net radiation data and sensible and latent 
heat fluxes data are incorrect for this period.

The affected data fields are:

5 minute:  q

15 minute: mv_q

30 minute: q, e, h
Measurements:sgp30ebbrE22.b1:
  • Heat flux, latent, at 1.5-m height, 30-min intervals(latent_heat_flux)

SGP/EBBR - EBBR E22 Soil Moistures Negative
DataStreams:sgp15ebbrE22.b1, sgp30ebbrE22.b1
Description:
Because of the lack of rain, soil moistures were negative during much 
of the period.  All five soil moisture sensors had negative outputs by 
early on Aug 1.  The negative soil moistures affected sensible and latent
heat fluxes slightly.

The affected data are:

SGP/EBBR - EBBR E22 Soil Moistures Negative
DataStreams:sgp30ebbrE22.b1, sgp15ebbrE22.b1
Description:
Because of the lack of rain, all soil moistures were negative during much 
of the period.  The negative soil moistures caused soil heat storage and
thus average soil heat flux to be smaller than they should have been.  The
sensible and latent heat fluxes were therefore reduced slightly 
(approximately 0-5%).

The affected data are:

15 minute: r_sm1, r_sm2, r_sm3, r_sm4, r_sm5
30 minute: sm1, sm2, sm3, sm4, sm5, c_shf1, c_shf2, c_shf3, c_shf4,

SGP/EBBR/E22 - T/RH Check
DataStreams:sgp5ebbrE22.b1, sgp30ebbrE22.b1, sgp15ebbrE22.b1
Description:
During the month of November 1994, site operations personnel conducted
field comparisons of the temperature and relative humidity sensors in the
EBBRs and the HMI31 portable T/RH meter (with the removable probe).  As is
reflected in the home signal output, the automatic exchange mechanism was
disabled in order to conduct the checks.

Measurements were taken every 5 minutes, for a half hour each in the
aspirated radiation shields (the HMI31 was inserted into the EBBR aspirated
radiation shield to provide the same aspiration as the EBBR sensors
received).  Measurements of aspirator flow were also recorded.  This
information was provided to the mentor.  The mentor then compared the field
checks with the data recorded by the EBBRs.

The periods of data and data fields that are incorrect because of the checks
are listed below.  Times are those at which the data are reported.


Data Fields
5 minute:  tair_top, tair_bot, thum_top, thum_bot, hum_top, hum_bot,
           vp_top, vp_bot
15 minute: rr_thum_r, rr_thum_l, mv_hum_r, mv_hum_l, tair_r, tair_l
30 minute: tair_top, tair_bot, thum_top, thum_bot, hum_top, hum_bot,
           vp_top, vp_bot, bowen, e, h

5 minute:  1650, 1655, 1700, 1705, 1710, 1715, 1720, 1725, 1730, 1735
15 minute: 1700, 1715, 1730, 1745
30 minute: 1700, 1730, 1800

(EDITOR'S NOTE:  The following analysis refers to all EBBRs installed in Nov 1994)

Results of the T/RH comparisons:
The combined accuracy of the HMI31 and EBBR temperature sensors
(thermocouples or PRTDs) is +/- 0.4 degrees C.  The combined accuracy of the
HMI31 and EBBR RH sensors is +/- 4% for RH less than 80%, and +/- 6% for RH
greater than 80%.  The combined accuracy for each pair of EBBR sensors of
the same type is essentially the same as the quantities stated above.

All of the pairs of EBBR sensors show differences that fall within the
stated combined accuracies.  Although this sounds wonderful, a few of the
differences are close to the combined accuracy, which, because of the small
differences in temperature being measured (normally smaller than the
magnitude of the combined accuracy) could lead to some incorrect estimation
of sensible and latent heat flux.  However, unless there would be substantial
differences of calibration slope of two sensors in a pair, the switching of
height of the sensors every 15 minutes by the automatic exchange mechanism
will remove the offset between the sensors.

The comparisons between the EBBR sensors and the HMI31 T/RH meter showed
much larger differences.  The range of differences were: -2.4 to 0.0 degrees
for the thermocouples, -2.1 to 0.1 degrees for the RH probe PRTDs, and -6.6 to
6.7 percent for the RH sensors.  Six Thermocouples indicated differences from
the HMI31 greater than the combined accuracy.  Seven PRTDs indicated
differences from the HMI31 greater than the combined accuracy.  Four RH
sensors indicated differences from the HMI31 greater than the combined
accuracy.  The temperature differences (for both thermocouples and PRTDs)
were nearly all of one sign; the HMI31 indicated the greater temperature,
which may suggest a bias in the HMI31 temperature measurement, even though
a dozen differences of +/- 0.2 degrees were measured.  Four differences of
zero and only one positive difference (out of 40) were measured.  Thirteen of
the 20 RH differences were positive (HMI31 indicating the lower
RH), with the differences near the level of the combined accuracies being
approximately 50% positive and 50% negative.  It does not appear that the
HMI31 has a RH bias.

Plots of EBBR sensor/HMI31 differences as a function of time from the
installation of the individual sensors (a range of 10 to 30 months in the
field) shows no obvious pattern of sensor drift with time.  This is encouraging.

Description:
During EBBR 3 month checks the Automatic Exchange Mechanism is disabled
(reflected by home signals near zero) so that the two aspirator units can be
placed at the same height.  The measurements during this period, at least,
do not produce correct outputs of bowen ratio (bowen), sensible heat flux (h),
or latent heat flux (e), nor do the air temperature and relative humidity
measurements indicate gradients.  Checks performed before or after the AEM
is disabled also lead to some incorrect data.

Description:
The home30 measurements sometimes exceeded 34.9999, resulting in the
qc flag being set.

However, this does not create any data quality issues.  The qc flag is
set just to provide an alert that the automatic exchange mechanism may have a problem; in 
this case data was not affected.

An electronics repair solved the problem.

SGP/EBBR/E22 - AEM Home Signals Too High
DataStreams:sgp30ebbrE22.b1, sgp5ebbrE22.b1
Description:
The AEM home signals were too large at times during the indicated period;
it has been determined by the vendor that this is usually caused by electrical noise in 
the vicinity. When the 30 minute data shows a home 30 signal of 35 or more, the bowen 
ratio, and sensible and latent heat flux 
measurements are incorrect 

Removing the jumper between 4L and AG on the CR10 and adding a jumper to Multiplexer 2, 
Set 6, between L1 and L2 fixed the problem.  The
vendor intends to make this modification to all EBBR systems as they return
for re-calibration.

SGP/EBBR/E22 - Improved EBBR CR10 Program
DataStreams:sgp30ebbrE22.b1
Description:
Effective 20050330.1930, the EBBR.E20 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 20050330, 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 sgp30ebbrE20.b1 data
stream.  The earlier version of the CR10 program was also used on previous
EBBR datastream names (e.g. sgp30ebbrE20.a1).
Measurements:sgp30ebbrE22.b1:
  • Heat flux, latent, at 1.5-m height, 30-min intervals(latent_heat_flux)
  • Heat flux, sensible, at 1.5-m height, 30-min intervals(sensible_heat_flux)

SGP/EBBR/E22 - Wind Direction Dependency of Surface Fluxes and General Data Quality 
Information
DataStreams:sgp30ebbrE22.b1
Description:
Beginning in FY2006, Data Quality Reports are not written for missing 
data or for situations when qc flags clearly show that the data is 
incorrect (this is true for most of the conditions listed below).  
DQRs are written for periods when data is incorrect, when the situation 
is not represented by qc flags in the data, and it's not obvious that 
the data should have been flagged as incorrect.

The EBBR data is only useful for particular wind directions at each 
Extended Facility.  Please use the following resources to help in 
interpreting the EBBR data.

1) qc flags in the EBBR data.

2) Instrument Mentor Monthly Summaries (IMMS) at http://www.db.arm.gov/IMMS/

3) SGP EF Surface Conditions Observations (EFSCO) at 
http://198.124.96.210:591/sfc_cond1/default.htm

4) Surface fluxes are valid only for the following wind directions
(in degrees):

0-49, 139-360

Note that there are wind directions at most sites for which the fetch
is insufficient and therefore EBBR data is invalid.  Appropriate 
fetch was determined from a 1/40 measurement height to fetch ratio, 
resulting in a required minimum fetch of 120 m.  Particular attention 
should be paid to the limited valid wind directions for the Central 
Facility EBBR.  The surface vegetation type for the EBBRs is grazed 
or ungrazed grassland (refer to the EFSCO for state).

5) Some conditions that commonly cause the EBBR primary measurements to 
be incorrect or missing follow:

a) Sensible and latent heat fluxes are not accurate during times when 
the Automatic Exchange Mechanism (AEM) is not functioning properly.  
The AEM switches the gradient measuring instrumentation between the 
top and bottom positions every 15 minutes; this reduces the effects of 
instrument offsets.  Sometimes the AEM does not reach it's full extent 
of travel, resulting in the home signal being zero.  

b) Sensible and latent heat fluxes are sometimes incorrect when surface 
soil heat flow is out of range, as seen in the average soil heat flux 
(ave_shf).

c) Very light winds may be seen at nights for brief periods. Wind 
direction flops around a lot during low wind conditions (< 1.5 m/s) 
and is often unreliable during those periods.

d) Missing data periods occur at times; this is usually a site data 
system collection/communication problem; it can also occur during 
replacement of the system with a newly calibrated unit.  Missing data 
is sometimes filled in later from manual or automatic re-collection of 
the data.

The right air temperature probe (thermocouple) malfunctioned during the
periods stated above at Cordell, OK (E22).  It was replaced on December 21,
1993 and good data began again with the 1830 GMT half hour average.  For the
periods of interest, 5 and 30 minute values of tair_top and tair_bot are
incorrect when the right probe was in the specified position; 15 minute values of
tair_r are incorrect; and 30 minute values of bowen, e, and h are incorrect.  None of
these values are recoverable or recalculatable through the use of other
quantities since both air temperature probes are needed to determine bowen
ratio.

SGP/EBBR/E22 - Incorrect averaging interval at E22
DataStreams:sgp30ebbrE22.b1
Description:
On November 9, 1993 version 4 of the EBBR program installed at Cordell, OK
(E22) was mistakenly modified in one area during the process of modifying a
calibration in another part of the program.  The mistaken modification was
a change in the execution interval from 30 seconds to 10 seconds.  This
modification remained in the program until November 22, 1993 when it was
discovered and changed back to a 30 second execution interval.  The
modification produced no ill effects as the execution interval only
changes sampling and averaging periods.  A 10 second execution interval
results in three times as many samples being taken, which, when averaged,
should actually produce more accurate results.  Therefore, data quality was
not affected.  This PIF was written only to document the fact that the
mistaken modification was made, and when it was made.

SGP/EBBR/E22 - Net Radiometer Hemisphere Changes
DataStreams:sgp5ebbrE22.b1, sgp30ebbrE22.b1, sgp15ebbrE22.b1
Description:
The upper hemisphere of the net radiometer at the site was punctured
allowing water to collect in the lower (and sometimes upper) section of the sensor. The 
punctures are most likely the result of migratory birds (a problem that we have experienced 
almost every year here at ANL also). The punctures (and water in some net radiometers) 
did not result in obvious invalidation of the data.

Whether there is water in the lower hemisphere or not, a small puncture of the upper 
hemisphere would not have a major effect on the net radiation measurement.  Significant 
amounts of water in the lower
hemisphere should have a major effect on nighttime measurements particularly, although 
that effect is hard to detect in the data. 
The date when the puncture occurred is approximate - but is certainly 
no more than two weeks before the hemisphere was replaced.

heat flows 1, 2, 3, and 5 to calculate the average soil heat flow,

ave_shf = (g1 + g2 + g3 + g5)/4
e = -(q + ave_shf)/(1 + bowen)
h = -(e + ave_shf + q)

SGP/EBBR/E22 - 3-month check
DataStreams:sgp30ebbrE22.b1, sgp5ebbrE22.b1, sgp15ebbrE22.b1
Description:
During EBBR 3 month checks the Automatic Exchange Mechanism is disabled
(reflected by home signals near zero) so that the two aspirator units can be
placed at the same height.  The measurements during this period, at least,
do not produce correct outputs of bowen ratio (bowen), sensible heat flux (h),
or latent heat flux (e), nor do the air temperature and relative humidity
measurements indicate gradients.  Checks performed before or after the AEM
is disabled also lead to some incorrect data.  The period of incorrect
data for the EBBR is listed in the times indicated; data times affected 
do not include the beginning time and do include the ending time 
(data files are denoted by the end time).

SGP/EBBR/E22 - Reprocess: E22 Soil Heat Flow Sensor # 5 Incorrect Data
DataStreams:sgp15ebbrE22.b1, sgp30ebbrE22.b1
Description:
Soil heat flow sensor #5 frequently produced large negative (and incorrect)
values during the period above.  The problem ended during a PM visit by 
site operations.  However, there is no documentation by Site Operations in
the instrumentation report or corrective maintenance report that Site
Operations personnel took action to correct the problem.  Site Operations 
also told me that they have no record of any changes or corrective 
maintenance.  Apparently, something fortuitous happened during the PM to 
correct the problem.  The start date and time of the problem cannot be 
determined exactly, but it did begin during a period of missing data from 
Feb. 14-25, 1997.

Values affected (and thus incorrect) include:

15 minute: mv_hft5
30 minute: shf5, c_shf5, g5, ave_shf, e, h.

The latent and sensible heat fluxes can be recalculated by using only soil
heat flows 1, 2, 3, and 4 to calculate the average soil heat flow,

ave_shf = (g1 + g2 + g3 + g4)/4

e = -(q + ave_shf)/(1 + bowen)

h = -(e + ave_shf + q)

SGP/EBBR/E22 - Reprocess: E22 Soil Moisture Values Off End of Calibration at High Soil 
Moistures
DataStreams:sgp15ebbrE22.b1, sgp30ebbrE22.b1
Description:
Intermittently, since November 1997 soil moisture probes 1, 2, and 3
indicate small positive or else negative values when soil moisture is
high (greater than 35%).  This situation is similar to that at the Cement
EBBR, although the soil at Cordell is not capable of holding as much water
as that at Cement. The cause of the problem is inadequate range in the
calibration curve equation.  Very high soil moisture cannot be obtained
with the calibration soil used by REBS.  The soil moisture equations
could be manipulated to allow larger soil moistures to be calculated.
However, the infrequency of occurence does not justify doing so.

The soil moisture data must be inspected by the data user to see when
soil moisture values for one or more probes is inconsistent with the
others.

Recalculation of ave_shf, e, and h must be made using only the soil
moisture sets with correct soil moisture values.

Affected data values are (# for probe number):

15 minute: rr_sm#

30 minute: sm#, c_shf#, cs#, ces#, g#, ave_shf, e, h

Sensible, latent, and soil heat fluxes can be recalculated using the soil
probe sets that provide correct data.  For example, if soil moisture 2 is
incorrect,

ave_shf = (g1 + g3 + g4 + g5)/4

e = -(q + ave_shf)/(1 +bowen)

h = -(e + ave_shf +q),


If soil moistures 1 and 2 are incorrect,

ave_shf = (g3 + g4 + g5)/3

e = -(q + ave_shf)/(1 +bowen)

h = -(e + ave_shf +q),


If soil moistures 1, 2, and 3 are incorrect,

ave_shf = (g4 + g5)/2

e = -(q + ave_shf)/(1 +bowen)

h = -(e + ave_shf +q),

etc.

SGP/EBBR/E22 - Low Battery - Resulting In Incorrect Data
DataStreams:sgp15ebbrE22.b1, sgp30ebbrE22.b1, sgp5ebbrE22.b1
Description:
A low battery condition (less than 10.5 volts) caused a number of data
fields to be incorrect at some times and all data fields to be incorrect
at a more limited number of times.  All data fields are suspect when the
battery voltage drops below 10.5 volts because the CR10 cannot operate 
properly.  Some sensors are affected slightly (i.e. pressure) at slightly
larger voltages.  The low battery condition resulted from an initially 
weak battery and a week of extremely low solar radiation (from heavy 
cloudiness) on the solar panel that provides most of the charging of the
battery.

Comments added by Marv Wesely: 
David Cook has been working with Dave Breedlove to try to assess the age
of the batteries.  The dates on the batteries needs to be read during 
site visits and provided to David C.  It's quite possible that they need
to be replaced.  It's work in progress, though slow at times.

SGP/EBBR/E22 - 3-Month Check
DataStreams:sgp15ebbrE22.b1, sgp30ebbrE22.b1, sgp5ebbrE22.b1
Description:
During EBBR 3 month checks the Automatic Exchange Mechanism is disabled
(reflected by home signals near zero) so that the two aspirator units can be
placed at the same height.  The measurements during these periods 
do not produce correct outputs of bowen ratio (bowen), sensible heat flux
(h), or latent heat flux (e), nor do the air temperature and relative 
humidity measurements indicate correct gradients.  Checks performed before 
or after the AEM is disabled also lead to some incorrect data.  Incorrect 5,
15 minute and half hour data occurs for the period above.

SGP/EBBR/E22 - Six Month Checks
DataStreams:sgp30ebbrE22.b1, sgp5ebbrE22.b1, sgp15ebbrE22.b1
Description:
During EBBR 6 month checks (formally called 3 month checks) the Automatic 
Exchange Mechanism is disabled (reflected by home signals near zero) so that
the two aspirator units can be placed at the same height.  The measurements
during these periods do not produce correct outputs of bowen ratio (bowen), 
sensible heat flux (h), or latent heat flux (e), nor do the air temperature
and relative humidity measurements indicate correct gradients.  Checks 
performed just before or after the AEM is disabled also lead to some 
incorrect data.  Incorrect 5, 15 minute and half hour data occurs for the 
period indicated.
