Subject:	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.

DataStreams:	sgp1smosE1.b1, sgp30smosE1.b1, sgp1440smosE1.b1

Subject:	SGP/SMOS/E3 - Rain Gage Data Suspect
DataStreams:	sgp1smosE3.b1, sgp30smosE3.b1
Description:	On 06/24/2009 The rain gage tested ok. On 07/08/2009 the rain gage failed testing. Since the gage failed at some point between these dates, all data in this range should be viewed as suspect.

DataStreams:	sgp1smosE9.b1, sgp30smosE9.b1, sgp1440smosE9.b1
Description:	Wind sensor was reporting winds at 0 m/s for long periods of time. A loose connection was found and corrected.
