SGP/SMOS/E8 - Wind Data Incorrect Due to Icing
DataStreams:sgp1440smosE8.b1, sgp1smosE8.b1, sgp30smosE8.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.
