SGP/SMOS/E13 - RH sensor failure
DataStreams:sgp1smosE13.b1, sgp30smosE13.b1, sgp1440smosE13.b1
Description:
The T/RH sensor relative humidity data is suspect during this time.  Values from this 
sensor failed the 6-month check and subsequent bi-weekly checks.  The RH values were lower by 
larger than the manufacturer suggested uncertainty of 3%.

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

incorrect.  In many instances it was frozen and unmoving, at times it
measured values but those are extremely suspect.

Description:
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.
