Subject:	SGP/SMOS/E13 - Sensor failure

Description:	Beginning around 1415 UTC on 08/30, the RH readings for this instrument were frequently around 0 (sometimes there are erratic spikes upward from 0 for periods of time). Rainfall appears to have been the cause of the erroneous readings, as the instrument appeared to fail in and around the time of heavy rains. A maintenance visit occurred on 09/04, afterwards data returned to normal values.
