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

the co-located EBBR data.

SGP/SMOS/E6 - Incorrect Offset for Wind Directon
DataStreams:sgp1smosE6.b1, sgp30smosE6.b1
Description:
An incorrect offset of 7 degrees was subtracted from the wind direction to correct for 
misalignment of the towers to true north. The wind direction data may be corrected but the 
vector averaged wind speed cannot. Subsequent audits have highlighted problems with past 
measurements of tower alignments.  All corrections to wind direction are being removed and 
Users are directed to view the Instrument Handbook for a table listing all tower 
alignment deviations from true north.  Users can adjust the data at their discretion.
Measurements:sgp1smosE6.b1:
  • Unit Vector Wind Direction(wdir)
  • Wind Speed (vector averaged)(wspd_va)
