DataStreams:sgp1440smosE13.b1, sgp1smosE13.b1, sgp30smosE13.b1
Description:
The T/RH sensor began to fail at high RH% values.  Since this site has an aspirated 
radiation shield, values in excess of the 104% manufacturer limit are not expected to occur due 
to rain or condensation.

DataStreams:sgp1440smosE13.b1, sgp1smosE13.b1, sgp30smosE13.b1

The program was modified and an incorrect multiplier was used so that the barometer data 
was reported in hPa instead of kPa.

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.

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.
