Subject:	SGP/SMOS/E13 - 6-month Calibration Checks
DataStreams:	sgp1440smosE13.a0, sgp1smosE13.a0, sgp30smosE13.a1
Description:	During the time periods specified, the SMOS.E13 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/E13 - Tower down for maintenance
DataStreams:	sgp1smosE13.a0, sgp30smosE13.a1
Description:	SMOS E13 tower was down for maintenance on 13 APR 96 between 1530 and 1605 GMT. All wind, temperature, and humidity data taken during this period are incorrect. Rainfall and Barometric Pressure data are OK.
Measurements:	sgp30smosE13.a1: Standard Deviation of Relative Humidity(sd_rh) Standard Deviation of wind direction(sd_deg) Relative humidity inside the instrument enclosure(rh) Standard Deviation of Vapor Pressure(sd_vap_pres) Standard Deviation of Air Temperature(sd_temp) Standard Deviation of Wind Speed(sd_wspd) Vapor Pressure (kiloPascals)(vap_pres) Beam 0 Temperature(temp) Wind Speed (vector averaged)(wspd_va) Mean Wind Speed(wspd) Unit Vector Wind Direction(wdir) sgp1smosE13.a0: Vapor Pressure (kiloPascals)(vap_pres) Beam 0 Temperature(temp) Relative humidity inside the instrument enclosure(rh) Mean Wind Speed(wspd) Unit Vector Wind Direction(wdir) Wind Speed (vector averaged)(wspd_va) Standard Deviation of wind direction(sd_deg)

Subject:	SGP/SMOS/E13 - Questionable data
DataStreams:	sgp1440smosE13.a0, sgp1smosE13.a0, sgp30smosE13.a1
Description:	The values of relative humidity reported by the SMOS at E13 between 18 NOV 96 and 1930 GMT on 30 JAN 97 are too high. Saturation values of 104% to 105% have been reported during this period. A 6-month Verification Check was made on 18 NOV 96 and the SMOS probe did not agree with the reference at that time. The SMOS probe was finally replaced on 30 JAN 97. Data reported since that time appears reasonable.
Measurements:	sgp1440smosE13.a0: Minimum Relative Humidity(min_rh) Time of Minimum Vapor Pressure(time_min_vap_pres) Time of Maximum Vapor Pressure(time_max_vap_pres) Time of Maximum Relative Humidity(time_max_rh) Maximum Vapor Pressure(max_vap_pres) Time of Minimum Relative Humidity(time_min_rh) Minimum Vapor Pressure(min_vap_pres) Maximum Relative Humidity(max_rh) sgp30smosE13.a1: Standard Deviation of Relative Humidity(sd_rh) Relative humidity inside the instrument enclosure(rh) Standard Deviation of Vapor Pressure(sd_vap_pres) Vapor Pressure (kiloPascals)(vap_pres) sgp1smosE13.a0: Vapor Pressure (kiloPascals)(vap_pres) Relative humidity inside the instrument enclosure(rh)

DataStreams:	sgp1440smosE13.a0, sgp1smosE13.a0, sgp30smosE13.a1
Description:	When the SMOS E13 T/RH probe was replaced on 30 JAN 97, it was not adequately sealed to prevent rain infiltration. During a rain, which fell between 20 FEB 97 at 0730 GMT and 22 FEB 97 at 1230 GMT, the RH probe malfunctioned apparently due to becoming wet.

Description:	When the SMOS E13 T/RH probe was replaced on 30 JAN 97, it was not adequately sealed to prevent rain infiltration. During a rain, which fell on 26 FEB 97 between 1530 and 2130 GMT, the RH probe malfunctioned apparently due to becoming wet. Bad RH data were reported between 1530-1700 GMT and again between 2000-2130 GMT.
