SGP/SWATS/E12 - Time drift
DataStreams:sgpswatsE12.b1
Description:
The time synchronization server stopped working on Feb. 19th at 22:12:16 GMT.  The clock 
was corrected by -5600.177269 seconds on March 10th at 22:47 GMT. The recorded times for 
observations are off by amounts ranging from 0 seconds on Feb. 19th to 5600 seconds on 
March 10th.

SGP/SWATS/E12 - Reprocessing Notice (RID 156)
DataStreams:sgpswatsE12.b1
Description:
See below for details of reprocessing that was completed on 20150814.  Original DQR 
category: 5 (Transparent - Does not affect quality).

-----------------------------------------------------------

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/E12 - Incorrect soil moisture
DataStreams:sgpswatsE12.b1
Description:
Temperature rise values were way to high (~40 deg C).  Water potential is calculated from 
a rise (and subsequent drop) in temperature in the sensor that is normally ~1-5 degrees 
C.  When the temperature rise is too high, the soil moisture data is dubious at best and 
unusable at worst.  Since this "out-of-bounds" t_rise is so high, the soil moisture data 
are practically unusable.

Soil temperature measurements were not affected.
Measurements:sgpswatsE12.b1:
  • Soil Water Potential, West Profile(soilwatpot_W)
  • Soil Water Potential, East Profile(soilwatpot_E)
  • Sensor Temperature Rise, West Profile(trise_W)
  • Volumetric Water Content, West Profile(watcont_W)

SGP/SWATS/E12 - Reprocess: Incorrect calibrations
DataStreams:sgpswatsE12.b1
Description:
Incorrect data configuration program was loaded on logger resulting in incorrect 
coefficients applied.  Data will be reprocessed with correct coefficients.

SGP/SWATS/E12 - Soil Measurements Suspect
DataStreams:sgpswatsE12.b1
Description:
trise and resulting measurements are suspect for 5cm E and W, 15 cm W, 
25 cm E, 35 cm E. This may be a probe calibration problem.

SGP Site Power Outage Due to Winter Storm
DataStreams:sgpswatsE12.b1
Description:
On Saturday and Sunday, December 26 and 27th a powerful winter storm (Goliath) brought 
sleet and freezing rain to much of Oklahoma with wind gusts of 45 MPH at times. The result 
was very very slick roads and mass power outages.
 
The SGP central facility lost power at 8:55 PM CDT on Sunday, December 27th.  
The power was restored on 7:56 PM CDT on Wednesday, December 30th
 
Site Emergency procedures were activated and Technicians drained water out of instrument 
reservoirs and other measures as needed, early Monday morning.
 
On Wednesdays as roads and power started was restored to much of the areas east of I-35 , 
Site Technicians performed maintenance on several Extended Facilities.

During this period, data are potentially missing, incorrect, or suspect.  Carefully 
inspect the data before use.
