SGP/EBBR/E19 - Reprocess: Soil Heat Flow #3 Incorrect

Soil heat flow 3 was incorrect, with values too large positive and too small negative.  
Since the calibration in the program is the one supplied by the vendor, it appears 
that the calibration may be wrong.

Average soil heat flow, sensible heat flux and latent heat flux can be recalculated
using the remaining good sets of soil sensors as follows:
   ave_shf = (g1 + g2 + g4 + g5)/4
   e = -(q + ave_shf)/(1 + bowen)
   h = -(q + e + ave_shf)

SGP/EBBR/E19 - Reprocess: Soil Temperature #3 Incorrect

Soil Temperature 3 was incorrect for the period indicated, causing average soil flow, 
latent heat flux, and sensible heat flux to be incorrect also.

Average soil heat flow, sensible heat flux, and latent heat flux can be recalculated using 
the remaining good sets of soil sensors as follows:

SGP/EBBR/E19 - Low Battery Voltage

A battery voltage of less than 10.5 causes many of the sensors to produce incorrect 
measurements.
The 15 minute data contains the battery voltage and should be used to determine whether 
the measurements are usable, based on battery voltage.

SGP/EBBR - Incorrect Units for Soil Heat Capacity (cs1, cs2, cs3, cs4, cs5) in 30EBBR 
Header

The units for Soil Heat Capacity (cs1, cs2, cs3, cs4, cs5) in the 
EBBR 30 minute netcdf header have been incorrect from the beginning 
of processing the data into netcdf files.  The correct units are 
MJ/m^3/C.

SGP/EBBR/E19 - Pressure Low

The barometric pressure sensor read about 10 mb low during this
period because a lead from the sensor was loose or disconnected.

The error does not affect any other measurements.

• Barometric Pressure(atmos_pressure)

• Barometric Pressure(atmos_pressure)

SGP/EBBR/E19 - Soil Temperatures #2 and #3 Intermittently Bad

Soil Temperatures #2 and #3 were intermittently incorrect.
#3 appeared to be okay after the J-panel was replaced. 
#2 continues to be flaky, suggesting that the sensor
itself has a problem.  A DQPR has been submitted to
replace #2.  The indicated measurements 
that are calculated using soil temperature are 
also suspect.  However, the intermittent problems normally
occurred during night times and were fairly small in magnitude,
thereby having little effect on the sensible and latent heat fluxes.

SGP/EBBR/E19 - Change of Energy Storage Incorrect

Because soil temperature measurements were not available 
from the beginning of the half hour, the change in soil 
energy storage could not be calculated and thus is 
incorrect.

There is no fix to this problem. Average Soil Heat Flow, 
Sensible Heat Flux (h), and Latent Heat Flux (e) can not 
be calculated using the available, remaining measurements.

SGP/EBBR/E19  - Water in Net Radiometer; Surface Fluxes are Incorrect

The net radiometer top dome was punctured by migrating birds.  This alone does not cause 
incorrect net radiation measurements.  However, when it subsequently rains, water collects 
in the bottom dome, causing the net radiation measurements to be too large during the 
day and too small at night.

SGP/EBBR/E19 - Tair Right Offscale

The right air temperature data were going offscale.  This 
                  affected the calculation of sensible and latent heat 
                  fluxes.

SGP/EBBR/E19 - Battery Voltage Too Low, Most Measurements Incorrect

Battery voltage dropped below levels required to sustain the 
               production of valid data.  The AC charger unit had failed.  
               This prevented charging of the battery during the night and
               prevented the solar panel regulator from properly charging 
               the battery during the day.

An ice storm froze the wind speed sensor to a stopped condition.
It is not known how long this condition existed, as data is missing
for more than 10 days after the end of the stated period.

The wind speed and residual wind speed measurements are incorrect.

This sensor failure does not affect the sensible and latent heat fluxes.

SGP/EBBR/E19 - Reprocess: Incorrect Net Rad Calibration Coefficient

The net radiometer coefficient installed on 2/5/04 for nighttime (negative voltage 
calibration) was incorrect.

Negative net radiations during the subject period can be multiplied by
0.9419 to get corrected net radiation measurements.  The sensible (H)
and latent heat (LE) fluxes (which are very small at night anyway) can
be recalculated using the following equations (where B is Bowen ratio,
Rn is corrected net radiation, and G is soil heat flow):

LE = -(Rn + G)/(B + 1)

H = -(Rn + G + LE)

SGP/EBBR/E19 - Improved EBBR CR10 Program

Effective 20050331.1600, the EBBR.E19 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 sgp30ebbrE19.b1 data
stream.  The earlier version of the CR10 program was also used on previous
EBBR datastream names (e.g. sgp30ebbrE19.a1).

SGP/EBBR/E19 - Average Soil Heat Flux Incorrect

A typo in the version 9 EBBR program caused average soil heat flow to be zero, resulting 
in both sensible and latent heat fluxes being approximately 20 watts per meter squared too 
large during the middle of the day.

SGP/EBBR/E19 - metadata corrections

On 20050723, a series of metadata corrections and additions were completed.  These 
metadata changes apply to all EBBR.E19 data collected by ARM back to the beginning of the data 
set in May 1997. Please see the current metadata for correct information.  These changes 
do not affect data values or quality.	

The changes are summarized below:
1) Update of "sensor location" information
2) Addition of installation dates for the systems
3) Correction of soil type
4) Correction of soil moisture units (from "by volume" to "gravimetric")

SGP/EBBR/E19 - Wind Direction Dependency of Surface Fluxes and General Data Quality 
Information

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):

0-133, 151-360

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.

SGP/EBBR/E19 - Reprocess: E19 EBBR Soil heat Flow Probe #5 Upsidedown

Soil heat flow probe #5 was installed upsidedown at the initial
installation of the EBBR system.  The data from it had the wrong sign.
Site operations personnel reversed its orientation in the soil on August
14, 1997, thereby correcting the problem.

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 reversing the
sign of cshf5, adding it to ces5 and recomputing the average soil heat flow,

ave_shf = (g1 + g2 + g3 + g4 + g5)/5

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

SGP/EBBR/E19 - Battery Voltage Drop

EBBR battery voltage at E19, El Reno, OK declined to lower than acceptable
levels after long periods of clouds after initial installation.  The low
voltage condition worsened as Autumn progressed.  In November 1997 the
battery tested okay, but would not hold sufficient capacity at night or
during extended periods of clouds to keep the voltage high enough for the
EBBR to work properly.  At my request, the battery was replaced with a brand
new battery on 31 December 1997.  The new battery is presently maintaining
voltage level at night.

The voltage dropped to 10 volts or less many days before the battery change.
Voltages less than 10.3 volts affected a wide range of measured values, but
at different times.  When the voltage was much below 10 volts the home
signal became very large (several volts), a quirk of the AEM circuitry.
At various times, latent and sensible heat fluxes, soil temperature, air
temperature, relative humidity, vapor pressure, wind direction, soil heat
flux plate output, home signal, and atmospheric pressure (at least) were not
reported correctly by the CR10 datalogger.  At least the sensible and latent
heat fluxes should be considered to be incorrect when the battery voltage is
less than 10.3 volts.  The battery voltage is found in the 15 minute data.

SGP/EBBR/E19 - Noisy Sensible and Latent Heat Fluxes

"Noisy" sensible and latent heat fluxes often occur during daytime periods
when the net radiation is smaller (less than 150 watts/m2), but this is not
the only condition under which it occurs.  During this condition especially,
the temperature gradient, RH gradient, and thus the vapor pressure
gradient are near zero; this causes the sensible and latent heat flux gradients
to be inaccurately calculated.  Good examples of these conditions occurred
on 28 December 1997 and 6 January 1998.  However, even when there is
substantial net radiation the problem does sometimes occur; good examples of
this are found during daytime or nighttime variously on 1, 2, 3, and 4
January 1998.  The conditions occur more fequently than at other EBBR sites;
they do occur at other EBBR sites, but less frequently.

SGP/EBBR/E19 - 3-Month Check

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 indicated.

SGP/EBBR/E19 - Six-Month Checks

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.
