SGP/SWATS/E4 - Incorrect soil moisture data
DataStreams:sgpswatsE4.b1
Description:
The temperature rise readings on both the east and west profiles are too high.  This also 
causes the matric potential and water content data to be incorrect.

For the first, third and fourth date ranges, measurements are incorrect for all sensor 
locations (each depth on both profiles).

For the second date range, measurements are incorrect for the lowest 8 sensor locations 
(the 60cm, 85cm, 125cm, and 175cm depths on both profiles).

  • Sensor Temperature Rise, West Profile(trise_W)
  • Soil Water Potential, West Profile(soilwatpot_W)
  • Sensor Temperature Rise, East Profile(trise_E)
  • Volumetric Water Content, West Profile(watcont_W)

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.

SGP/SWATS/E3 - Sensor failure, 60cm E
DataStreams:sgpswatsE3.b1
Description:
The temperature rise readings from the 60-cm depth on the east profile (trise_E) were 
incorrect.  This problem also causes the matric potential (soilwatpot_E) and water content 
(watcont_E) data for the 60-cm depth to be incorrect.  The sensor began to behave 
erratically at 7:00 GMT on 07/10/2008 before an apparent failure at 10:00 GMT on 08/07/2008.  
Maintenance on 10/29 corrected the problem.

Values of tsoil_E at the 60 cm depth are not impacted by this problem.

DataStreams:sgpswatsE7.b1
Description:
The 35-cm East sensor had several problems before failing permanently in 2007:

20061208.2000-20070306.2000: temperature rise reported values of -9999, and soil 
temperature reported abnormally high temperature values.  

20070813.1200-20070912.1300: all variables reported as -9999, including soil temperature.  
A very small number of soil temperature values were reported as unusually high 
temperature values after 09/10/07.

20070912.1300-20070915.1600:  incorrect values of temperature rise reported (near 0 C), 
and soil temperature values incorrect and unusually high.

20071110.0000-20071115.2300:  incorrect values of temperature rise reported near 0 C or 
unusually low.  Values of soil temperature OK.  

20071128.0000-->:  Except for two very brief recoveries (on the order of a few days), all 
35cm E variables are reported as -9999.

Description:
At 20:00 GMT on 05/07/08, temperature rise data from ALL sensors on both profiles began 
reporting values of temperature change near 0 C. These incorrect values of temperature rise 
result in incorrect soil moisture data for all sensors. 

Soil temperature data are unaffected.

SGP/SWATS/E7 - Soil temperature irregular, 125cm E
DataStreams:sgpswatsE7.b1
Description:
The 125 cm E sensor was demonstrating temporal irregularities in its soil temperature 
measurements.  These irregularities consisted of dips and increases of around 2-4 C that 
typically started around 14:00 or 15:00 GMT on most days. On other days the values appeared 
somewhat noisy throughout the day. In both cases, the temporal changes did not compare 
well with the other sensors installed at E7.  

A bad fiber optic cable was replaced.
Measurements:sgpswatsE7.b1:

SGP/SWATS/E10 - Soil temperature irregular, 25cm W
DataStreams:sgpswatsE10.b1
Description:
The 25 cm W sensor was demonstrating temporal irregularities and were noisy at times.  
These irregularities consisted of dips and increases of around 2-4 C that typically started 
around 14:00 or 15:00 GMT on most days. On other days the values appeared somewhat noisy 
throughout the day. In both cases, the temporal changes did not compare well with the 
other sensors installed at E10.

A broken wire was repaired for 25cm W sensor.

SGP/SWATS/E16 - Sensor failure, 125cm E
DataStreams:sgpswatsE16.b1
Description:
Temperature rise values from the 125 cm E sensor began to intermittently drop out to 
values near 0 C starting at 4:00 GMT on 12/14 before permanently reporting values near 0 C at 
20:00 GMT on 12/15.  The incorrect values of temperature rise result in incorrect matric 
potential and water content data for these sensors.

Soil temperature for this sensor is not affected.

DataStreams:sgpswatsE20.b1
Description:
The temperature rise readings from the 15-cm depth on the east profile were incorrect (0 
or -9999) This also caused the matric potential and water content data for the 15-cm depth 
to be incorrect.

Soil temperature data measurements also failed 20060502.  No data from this sensor should 
be used at or beyond this date.

Description:
Following a period of missing values (-9999) from 08/05/05-08/17/05, sensors at several 
depths failed.

Temperature rise values from the 60cm West and 85cm East profile sensors were very noisy 
after 08/17/05. These data, including matric potential and water content, were incorrect.

Temperature rise values from the 85cm West and 125cm East profile sensors are reported as 
0 after 08/17/05. Matric potential and water content data for these sensor were also 
incorrect.  Soil temperatures for these depths were unaffected.

Temperature rise and soil temperature measurements for the 60cm East and 125cm West 
profile sensors were reported as 0 or -9999 after 08/17/05. Matric potential and water content 
data for these sensors were also incorrect.
