SGP/SMOS/E27 - Wind data incorrect and/or suspect
DataStreams:sgp1440smosE27.b1, sgp1smosE27.b1, sgp30smosE27.b1
Description:
A recent ice storm caused the wind speed and wind direction values to flat line to zero.  
Both values came back on 1/29/09, but wind direction flat lined at 355 degrees.  The wind 
direction values appear to recover on the 02/10/2009 but are still suspect.  The wind 
sensor was replaced on 02/24/2009.
Measurements:sgp1440smosE27.b1:
  • Time of Minimum Wind Speed(time_min_wspd)
  • maximum wind speed (gusts)(max_wspd)

SGP/SMOS/E1 - RH high when near saturated
DataStreams:sgp1440smosE1.b1, sgp1smosE1.b1, sgp30smosE1.b1
Description:
Instrument RH values consistently exceeded MAX and did not compare well to surrounding 
sites.  Problem was apparent only when local RH values were in excess of 90%, usually 
between 02-16Z.
