Subject: | SGP/SMOS/E13 - Questionable E13 SMOS humidity data APR - NOV 95 |
DataStreams: | sgp30smosE13.a1, sgp1smosE13.00, sgp1440smosE13.a0 |
Description: | When the E13 SMOS naturally aspirated radiation shield was replaced with a fan aspirated radiation shield on 14 APR 95 at 2030 GMT, the new shield was not adequately sealed to prevent penetration of water, whether from rain or from dew, from entering the radiation shield and causing incorrect humidity data. After numerous attempts, the radiation shield was successfully sealed early in NOV 95. Separate DQR's have been issued for humidity data that was obviously erroneous, but on numerous occasions during that period the humidity data has looked suspicious (e.g., see PIF P960624.1). Therefore, all humidity data reported by the E13 SMOS during that period should be considered questionable. |
