DataStreams:sgp1440smosE20.b1, sgp1smosE20.b1, sgp30smosE20.b1
Description:
Wind speed data is artificially low during the listed time periods.  Icing conditions 
caused the reduction in speed compared to nearby sites.
Measurements:sgp1440smosE20.b1:
  • Time of Minimum Wind Speed(time_min_wspd)
  • Time of Maximum Wind Speed(time_max_wspd)
  • Minimum of Wind speed(min_wspd)
  • maximum wind speed (gusts)(max_wspd)

sgp30smosE20.b1:
  • Standard Deviation of Wind Speed(sd_wspd)
  • Wind Speed (vector averaged)(wspd_va)
  • Mean Wind Speed(wspd)

sgp1smosE20.b1:
  • Wind Speed (vector averaged)(wspd_va)
  • Mean Wind Speed(wspd)

SGP/SMOS/E15 - Wind Data Incorrect Due to Icing
DataStreams:sgp1440smosE15.b1, sgp1smosE15.b1, sgp30smosE15.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.

A snow/ice storm moved through the SGP region on 01/31/08 bringing below-freezing 
temperatures, affecting the precip field.  Data is suspect during the date/time range specified 
due to melting ice after temperatures warmed above freezing.
