Site Data Quality Status

  1. EBBR:E20 – Soil Moisture data for probes 2, 3, 4 and 5 looks suspicious. Will continue to monitor and discuss with mentor before opening a DQPR.  The soil moisture data is at its minimum range due to a lack of precipitation according to David Cook.  Therefore, a DQPR is not necessary.
  2. EBBR:E15 – The battery voltage at E7, E15, E19, E26 and E27 is dropping too low. A DQPR has been opened and a DQR will likely be filed.

SGP SDS Status 

  1. Nothing right now.

ECR Status 

  1. ECR 569 - Mentors have proposed the repackaging of the AOS trailer to look like the AMF and NSA. The advantage is that the mentor maintains spare parts and equipment that can be easily replaced. This will increase data retrieval.
