Subject:	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.
Measurements:	sgp1440smosE7.b1: Time of Minimum Wind Speed(time_min_wspd) Minimum of Wind speed(min_wspd) sgp30smosE7.b1: Wind Speed (vector averaged)(wspd_va) Standard Deviation of Wind Speed(sd_wspd) Mean Wind Speed(wspd) sgp1smosE7.b1: Mean Wind Speed(wspd) Wind Speed (vector averaged)(wspd_va)

Subject:	SGP/SMOS/E1 - Failed temperature probe
DataStreams:	sgp1440smosE1.b1, sgp1smosE1.b1, sgp30smosE1.b1
Description:	The temperature probe was out of tolerance as it failed the 6-month calibration checks and subsequent bi-weekly checks. The temperature values consistently were outside the manufacturers suggested uncertainty of 0.2 C.
Measurements:	sgp1smosE1.b1: Beam 0 Temperature(temp) Vapor Pressure (kiloPascals)(vap_pres) sgp30smosE1.b1: Beam 0 Temperature(temp) Vapor Pressure (kiloPascals)(vap_pres) Standard Deviation of Vapor Pressure(sd_vap_pres) sgp1440smosE1.b1: Time of Minimum Vapor Pressure(time_min_vap_pres) Maximum Vapor Pressure(max_vap_pres) Minimum Temperature(min_temp) Time of Maximum Temperature(time_max_temp) Minimum Vapor Pressure(min_vap_pres) Maximum Temperature(max_temp) Time of Maximum Vapor Pressure(time_max_vap_pres) Time of Minimum Temperature(time_min_temp)

Subject:	SGP/SMOS/E13 - RH sensor failure
DataStreams:	sgp1440smosE13.b1, sgp1smosE13.b1, sgp30smosE13.b1
Description:	The T/RH sensor relative humidity data is suspect during this time. Values from this sensor failed the 6-month check and subsequent bi-weekly checks. The RH values were lower by larger than the manufacturer suggested uncertainty of 3%.
Measurements:	sgp1440smosE13.b1: Time of Maximum Relative Humidity(time_max_rh) Time of Maximum Vapor Pressure(time_max_vap_pres) Minimum Relative Humidity(min_rh) Time of Minimum Vapor Pressure(time_min_vap_pres) Maximum Relative Humidity(max_rh) Time of Minimum Relative Humidity(time_min_rh) Maximum Vapor Pressure(max_vap_pres) Minimum Vapor Pressure(min_vap_pres) sgp30smosE13.b1: Standard Deviation of Relative Humidity(sd_rh) Standard Deviation of Vapor Pressure(sd_vap_pres) Vapor Pressure (kiloPascals)(vap_pres) Relative humidity inside the instrument enclosure(rh) sgp1smosE13.b1: Relative humidity inside the instrument enclosure(rh) Vapor Pressure (kiloPascals)(vap_pres)
