Description:	The wind direction is flatlining and wind speed occasionally does not compare well with co-located ECOR. Problems with the height of the mount caused the vane to impact the bird deterrent spikes and "catch". Symptoms appear as winds coming out of a 255 to 270 direction for long period of times.

Subject:	SGP/SMOS/E27 - Incorrect Offset for Wind Directon
DataStreams:	sgp1smosE27.b1, sgp30smosE27.b1
Description:	An incorrect offset of 7 degrees was subtracted from the wind direction to correct for misalignment of the towers to true north. The wind direction data may be corrected but the vector averaged wind speed cannot. Subsequent audits have highlighted problems with past measurements of tower alignments. All corrections to wind direction are being removed and Users are directed to view the Instrument Handbook for a table listing all tower alignment deviations from true north. Users can adjust the data at their discretion.
