Subject:	SGP/SMOS/E21 - Wind Data Incorrect Due to Icing
DataStreams:	sgp1440smosE21.b1, sgp1smosE21.b1, sgp30smosE21.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.
