SGP/SMOS/E20 - Sensor failure
DataStreams:sgp1smosE20.b1, sgp30smosE20.b1
Description:
Wind direction values were nearly constant around a value of 15 degrees.  Problem was 
caused by a lightning strike which damaged the sensor.

SGP/SMOS/E6 - SMOS Wind direction low
DataStreams:sgp1smosE6.b1, sgp30smosE6.b1
Description:
The wind direction reported by the SMOS went from being 7 degrees too low at the beginning 
of 2005 (the 7 degrees is a result of misalignment of the SMOS tower by 7 degrees) to 
15-20 degrees too small by November 2005.

The wind sensor was replaced, bringing the wind direction back to being 7
degrees too small.

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.
