Subject:	SGP/SMOS/E13 - Sensor failure
DataStreams:	sgp1440smosE13.a1, sgp1smosE13.a1, sgp1smosE13.b1, sgp30smosE13.a1, sgp30smosE13.b1
Description:	Beginning around 1415 UTC on 08/30, the RH readings for this instrument were frequently around 0 (sometimes there are erratic spikes upward from 0 for periods of time). Rainfall appears to have been the cause of the erroneous readings, as the instrument appeared to fail in and around the time of heavy rains. A maintenance visit occurred on 09/04, afterwards data returned to normal values.

Subject:	SGP/SMOS/E13 - T/RH sensor failure
DataStreams:	sgp1440smosE13.b1, sgp1smosE13.b1, sgp30smosE13.b1
Description:	The T/RH sensor began to fail at high RH% values. Since this site has an aspirated radiation shield, values in excess of the 104% manufacturer limit are not expected to occur due to rain or condensation.

DataStreams:	sgp1440smosE13.b1, sgp1smosE13.b1, sgp30smosE13.b1
Description:	The program was modified and an incorrect multiplier was used so that the barometer data was reported in hPa instead of kPa.

DataStreams:	sgp1440smosE13.b1, sgp1smosE13.b1, sgp30smosE13.b1
Description:	The T/RH sensor relative humidity data is suspect during this time. Values from this sensor failed the 6-month check and subsequent bi-weekly checks. The RH values were lower by larger than the manufacturer suggested uncertainty of 3%.

DataStreams:	sgp1440smosE13.b1, sgp1smosE13.b1, sgp30smosE13.b1
Description:	An ice storm caused the wind data from the RM Young wind sensor to be incorrect. In many instances it was frozen and unmoving, at times it measured values but those are extremely suspect.
