SGP/SMOS/E3 - 6-month Calibration Checks
DataStreams:sgp1440smosE3.b1, sgp1smosE3.b1, sgp30smosE3.b1
Description:
During the time periods specified, the SMOS.E3 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

SGP/SMOS/E9 - 6-month Calibration Checks
DataStreams:sgp1440smosE9.b1, sgp1smosE9.b1, sgp30smosE9.b1
Description:
During the time periods specified, the SMOS.E9 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.

SGP/SMOS/E7 - Wind sensor binding at low wind speeds
DataStreams:sgp1440smosE7.b1, sgp1smosE7.b1, sgp30smosE7.b1
Description:
The wind sensor bearings were failing causing the wind speed sensor to report lower than 
actual wind speeds when the winds were below 2 m/s.  The wind monitor was replaced on 
05/29/2007 but this failed to correct the problem.  Subsequently, the site was flooded and it 
took some time to re-establish normal operations.  The wind sensor was again replaced on 
10/30/2007.  After replacement the wind data from the SMOS compared more favorably to 
the co-located EBBR data.
