SGP/SMOS/E27 - Wind data incorrect and/or suspect

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.

SGP/SMOS/E1 - RH high when near saturated

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.
