Subject:	SGP/SMOS/E1 - 6-month Calibration Checks
DataStreams:	sgp1440smosE1.b1, sgp1smosE1.b1, sgp30smosE1.b1
Description:	During the time periods specified, the SMOS.E1 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. Calibration results are available from the OMIS database at http://www.ops.sgp.arm.gov:591/smos6cal/default.htm To view all 6-month calibration reports leave the date time entry blank.

Subject:	SGP/SMOS/E1 - Wind Data Incorrect Due to Icing
DataStreams:	sgp1440smosE1.b1, sgp1smosE1.b1, sgp30smosE1.b1
Description:	An ice storm caused the RM Young wind monitor to become frozen. Most of the time the sensor was frozen and unmoving, at other times it reported values but this data is highly suspect.
