Subject:	SGP/SMOS/E4 - 6-month Calibration Checks
DataStreams:	sgp1440smosE4.a0, sgp1smosE4.a0, sgp30smosE4.a1
Description:	During the time periods specified, the SMOS.E4 tower was lowered for 6-month Calibration Checks. During these times wind data are incorrect and temperature and humidity data may be incorrect. Note, exact times when tower was down or maintenance was being performed is sometimes unknown. Users should use the remaining data from these days with caution.

Subject:	SGP/SMOS/E4 - Reprocess: Wind direction offset
DataStreams:	sgp1smosE4.a0, sgp30smosE4.a1
Description:	When the SGP.E4 SMOS tower was installed it was not aligned properly resulting in a 7 degree offset. On 3/9/05, the datalogger program was modifed to correct for this offset.
