Subject: | SGP/EBBR/E13 - Improved EBBR CR10 Program |
DataStreams: | sgp30ebbrE13.b1 |
Description: | Effective 20050331.2100, the EBBR.E13 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 sgp30ebbrE13.b1 data stream. The earlier version of the CR10 program was also used on previous EBBR datastream names (e.g. sgp30ebbrE13.a1). |

Subject: | SGP/THWAPS/B4 - Minor biases in humidity and saturation vapor pressure |
DataStreams: | sgpthwapsB4.b1 |
Description: | The THWAPS humidity sensor output was scaled so that the instrument output voltage range (0-1VDC) represented 0-100 %RH. Comparisons with the co-located chilled mirror sensor at the CF suggested that the THWAPS RH sensor was reading artifically low at high humidities because of this 100 %RH maximum. The scaling of the system was changed so that 0-1 VDC now represents 0-110 %RH. This resulted in a slight loss of precision in the measurements, but since the RH measurement is only accurate to 2-3 %RH at best, this isn't a significant problem. The saturation vapor correction when temps are below 0C contained an error in the multiplier. The incorrect multiplier only equates to an error of 0.01 kPa which is less than the stated uncertainty of the measurement (+/- 0.035 kPa). |
