Subject:	SGP/SMOS/E3 - 6-month Calibration Checks
DataStreams:	sgp1440smosE3.b1, sgp1smosE3.b1, sgp30smosE3.b1
Description:	During the time periods specified, the SMOS.E3 tower was lowered for 6-month Calibration Checks. During these times wind data are incorrect and temperature and humidity data may be incorrect. Note, exact times when tower was down or maintenance was being performed is sometimes unknown. Users should use the remaining data from these days with caution.

Subject:	SGP/SMOS/E3 - RH values above max limit during high humidity situations
DataStreams:	sgp1440smosE3.b1, sgp1smosE3.b1, sgp30smosE3.b1
Description:	RH% values intremittently exceeded maximum allowed during high humidity situations. Sensor was replaced.

Subject:	SGP/SMOS/E3 - Rainfall Data Suspect
DataStreams:	sgp1smosE3.b1, sgp30smosE3.b1
Description:	Rainfall during this time period was suspect as the gauge was found plugged on 07/12/2006. Last check of site occurred on 06/28/2006. Any rainfall data collected, whether the data is 0 or other than zero is suspect.

Subject:	SGP/SMOS/E3 - Incorrect Offset for Wind Directon
DataStreams:	sgp1smosE3.b1, sgp30smosE3.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:	sgp30smosE3.b1: Wind Speed (vector averaged)(wspd_va) Unit Vector Wind Direction(wdir) sgp1smosE3.b1: Wind Speed (vector averaged)(wspd_va) Unit Vector Wind Direction(wdir)
