DataStreams:sgp1smosE27.a1, sgp1smosE27.b1, sgp30smosE27.a1, sgp30smosE27.b1
Description:
The SMOS wind sensor at E27 was reporting good wind
direction for 0 and 180 degrees, but bad wind directions 
for 090 and 270 degree (sensor problem).  This problem
was noted during the SMOS 6 month calibration check on

DataStreams:sgp1smosE7.b1, sgp30smosE7.b1, sgp1440smosE7.b1
Description:
The wind sensor bearings were failing causing the wind speed sensor to report lower than 
actual wind speeds when the winds were below 2 m/s.  The wind monitor was replaced on 
05/29/2007 but this failed to correct the problem.  Subsequently, the site was flooded and it 
took some time to re-establish normal operations.  The wind sensor was again replaced on 
10/30/2007.  After replacement the wind data from the SMOS compared more favorably to 
the co-located EBBR data.

SGP/SMOS/E27 - Wind Direction data incorrect
DataStreams:sgp1smosE27.b1, sgp30smosE27.b1

The wind direction sensor was reporting a consistent value of ~360 degrees during this 
time period.  Co-located and nearby sensors were not in agreement with these values.
Measurements:sgp1smosE27.b1:
  • Unit Vector Wind Direction(wdir)

SGP/SMOS/E27 - Wind Data Incorrect Due to Icing
DataStreams:sgp1smosE27.b1, sgp30smosE27.b1, sgp1440smosE27.b1

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.

SGP/SMOS/E7 - Incorrect Offset for Wind Directon
DataStreams:sgp1smosE7.b1, sgp30smosE7.b1
Description:
An incorrect offset of 6 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.

SGP/SMOS/E27 - Wind data incorrect and/or suspect
DataStreams:sgp1smosE27.b1, sgp30smosE27.b1, sgp1440smosE27.b1
Description:
A recent ice storm caused the wind speed and wind direction values to flat line to zero.  
Both values came back on 1/29/09, but wind direction flat lined at 355 degrees.  The wind 
direction values appear to recover on the 02/10/2009 but are still suspect.  The wind 
sensor was replaced on 02/24/2009.

SGP/SMOS/E7 - Reprocess: Wind direction incorrect
DataStreams:sgp1smosE7.a0, sgp30smosE7.a1
Description:
The 10m tower at E7 fell on 20 FEB 97 some time after 2130 GMT.  It was returned to 
service on 13 MAR 97 at 0600 GMT, but the wind monitor was incorrectly installed resulting in 
wind directions being 180 deg out until it was re-oriented on 20 MAR 97 at 1600 GMT.

SGP/SMOS/E7 - Humidity data drifted out of tolerance
DataStreams:sgp1smosE7.a0, sgp30smosE7.a1
Description:
The humidity data reported by the Elk Falls (E7) SMOS drifted out of tolerance starting on 
approximately 4 OCT 96.  The RH probe started reporting values exceeding 104% RH.  The 
SMOS underwent a 6-month verification check on 13 NOV 96, but the reference RH sensor was 
not operating properly at the time.  At the mentor's request, the T/RH probe was replaced 
on 4 FEB 97, but the replacement probe was not operating within specifications.  Due to 
lack of calibrated spare probes, the bad replacement T/RH probe was not replaced until 16 
APR 97.
