Subject:	SGP/SMOS/E21 - Reprocess: Errors in Global Metadata
DataStreams:	sgp1440smosE21.a0, sgp1smosE21.a0, sgp30smosE21.a1
Description:	The netcdf files for SMOS.E21 incorrectly list sensor heights at E21, Okmulgee as being 10m for winds, 2m for temp, RH and vapor pressure, and 1m for barometric pressure. The Okmulgee site is a forested site and these sensors are mounted on a tower above the canopy. The actual sensor heights are 18m for winds, 17m for temp, RH and vapor pressure, and 19m for barometric pressure which corresponds to 3.7m, 2.7m, and 4.7m above average canopy height respectively.

Subject:	SGP/SMOS/E9 - 6-month Calibration Checks
DataStreams:	sgp1440smosE9.a0, sgp1smosE9.a0, sgp30smosE9.a1
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.

DataStreams:	sgp1440smosE9.a0, sgp1smosE9.00, sgp1smosE9.a0, sgp30smosE9.a1
Description:	For unknown reason or reasons the E9 SMOS reported incorrect RH data starting on 8 FEB 99 at 1900 until 9 FEB 99 at 1530. All humidity data reported during that period should be flagged as incorrect. Field techs found nothing wrong with the probe or the data when they checked it on their rounds 18 FEB 99.
