SGP/SWATS/E24 - Incorrect Soil Moisture Data
DataStreams:sgpswatsE24.b1
Description:
The temperature rise readings from all depths on both the east and west profiles (trise_E, 
trise_W) are incorrect. This also causes the matric potential (soilwatpot_E, 
soilwatpot_W) and water content (watcont_E, watcont_W) data to be incorrect.

The temperature rise readings from both the west and east profiles
(trise_W, trise_E) were incorrect at all depths. This also caused the
matric potential (soilwatpot_W, soilwatpot_E) and water content
(watcont_W, watcont_E) data to be incorrect.

SGP/SWATS/E24 - Sensor failure
DataStreams:sgpswatsE24.b1
Description:
The readings from the 125-cm depth on the east profile began reporting missing values for 
all variables (tsoil_E, trise_E, soilwatpot_E, watcont_E) after maintenance corrected 
soil moisture data problems on May 13, 2004 at 1900 GMT. All data from this sensor are 
missing from this point on.

Description:
The soil temperature and temperature rise readings from all depths on both the east and 
west profiles (tsoil_W, tsoil_E, trise_E, trise_W) were incorrect. This also caused the

SGP/SWATS/E24 - Reprocessing Notice (RID 156)
DataStreams:sgpswatsE24.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.

Subject:
SGP/SWATS/E24 - Questionable Data due to placement of instrument
DataStreams:sgpswatsE24.b1
Description:
The Cyril EF is located on a gypsum outcropping overlooking a wheat field.  When the SWATS 
was installed, it was placed in a "hole" in the gypsum filled with soil.  The IM does 
not believe that this is conducive to collection of data that would be representative of 
local soil moisture conditions due to this arrangement.

While the soil temperature and moisture data are correct for the conditions in that spot, 
it is very likely that the gypsum surroundings create an environment that would be unlike 
the surrounding area, and should be aware that the data may not be representative of 
actual mean local conditions.
