SGP/SMOS/E3 - E3 SMOS WIND DATA INCORRECT
DataStreams:sgp1440smosE3.a1, sgp1smosE3.a1, sgp1smosE3.b1, sgp30smosE3.a1, sgp30smosE3.b1
Description:
Wind speed data began to be reported as 0 m/s on 05/01/2003 @ 04:59 GMT.  The wind 
direction data became incorrect soon after the wind speed data.  It was found that the wiring 
had been broken.  The data wires were re-routed and repaired.

SGP/SMOS/E27 - Instrument problem, Sensor failure
DataStreams:sgp1smosE27.a1, sgp1smosE27.b1, sgp30smosE27.a1, sgp30smosE27.b1
Description:
The SMOS wind sensor at E27 was reporting good wind
direction for 0 and 180 degrees, but bad wind directions 
for 090 and 270 degree (sensor problem).  This problem
was noted during the SMOS 6 month calibration check on
2003-05-15.  Sensor replacement and wiring changes
cleared the problem.
