Subject:	SGP/SMOS/E13 - 6-month Calibration Checks
DataStreams:	sgp1440smosE13.b1, sgp1smosE13.b1, sgp30smosE13.b1
Description:	During the time periods specified, the SMOS.E13 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.

Subject:	SGP/SMOS/E13 - Reprocess: Barometer data a factor of 10 too high.
DataStreams:	sgp1440smosE13.b1, sgp1smosE13.b1, sgp30smosE13.b1
Description:	The program was modified and an incorrect multiplier was used so that the barometer data was reported in hPa instead of kPa.
Measurements:	sgp1440smosE13.b1: Minimum Barometric Pressure(min_bar_pres) Maximum Barometric Pressure(max_bar_pres) sgp30smosE13.b1: barometric pressure(bar_pres) Standard Deviation of Barometric Pressure(sd_bar_pres) sgp1smosE13.b1: barometric pressure(bar_pres)

Subject:	SGP/SMOS/E13 -Reprocess: Wind Speed Values Excessively High
DataStreams:	sgp1440smosE13.b1, sgp1smosE13.b1
Description:	The slope value to convert the rotation of the propeller from engineering units to meters/second was incorrectly given as .098 when it should have been .0049. Conversion was converting hertz to meters/second when it should have been converting rpm's to meters/second.
Measurements:	sgp1440smosE13.b1: maximum wind speed (gusts)(max_wspd) Minimum of Wind speed(min_wspd) sgp1smosE13.b1: Mean Wind Speed(wspd)

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)

Subject:	SGP/SMOS/E13 - Wind Data Incorrect Due to Icing
DataStreams:	sgp1440smosE13.b1, sgp1smosE13.b1, sgp30smosE13.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.
Measurements:	sgp1440smosE13.b1: maximum wind speed (gusts)(max_wspd) Time of Minimum Wind Speed(time_min_wspd) Minimum of Wind speed(min_wspd) Time of Maximum Wind Speed(time_max_wspd) sgp30smosE13.b1: Unit Vector Wind Direction(wdir) Wind Speed (vector averaged)(wspd_va) Standard Deviation of Wind Speed(sd_wspd) Standard Deviation of wind direction(sd_deg) Mean Wind Speed(wspd) sgp1smosE13.b1: Mean Wind Speed(wspd) Standard Deviation of wind direction(sd_deg) Wind Speed (vector averaged)(wspd_va) Unit Vector Wind Direction(wdir)
