SGP/SMOS/E11 - 6-month Calibration Checks
DataStreams:sgp1440smosE11.b1, sgp1smosE11.b1, sgp30smosE11.b1
Description:
During the time periods specified, the SMOS.E11 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/E11 - Wind Data Incorrect Due to Icing
DataStreams:sgp1440smosE11.b1, sgp1smosE11.b1, sgp30smosE11.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.

Description:
A snow/ice storm moved through the SGP region on 01/31/08 bringing below-freezing 
temperatures, affecting the precip field.  Data is suspect during the date/time range specified 
due to melting ice after temperatures warmed above freezing.
