Subject:	SGP/SMOS/E6 - E6 SMOS Wind Direction
DataStreams:	sgp1smosE6.a0, sgp30smosE6.a1
Description:	Wind Direction incorrect during this time period. The bracket used to mount the wind direction sensor broke (ice suspected) on the 9th of February. It was replaced during routine maintenance on the 16th of February. We do not know why the data did not recover until the 22nd.

DataStreams:	sgp1smosE6.a0, sgp30smosE6.a1
Description:	Wind Direction incorrect during this time period. We noticed the data was incorrect on the 28th of February. During routine maintenance on the 1st of March the technician checked the wind direction sensor and noted that it needed to be replaced (no spares on hand at the time). On the 15th of March the sensor was replaced.

DataStreams:	sgp1smosE4.00, sgp1smosE4.a0, sgp30smosE4.a1, sgp1440smosE4.a0
Description:	Icing conditions at E4 caused the SMOS wind speed to be questionable starting at 0900 GMT on 16 MAR 98. By 2100 GMT, the icing caused the propellor to quit. The ice melted and the sensor resumed reporting wind speed at about 1530 GMT on 17 MAR 98.
