Subject: | SGP/SMOS/E21 - Wind Monitor Impacting Bird Spikes |
DataStreams: | sgp1440smosE21.b1, sgp1smosE21.b1, sgp30smosE21.b1
|
Description: | The wind direction is flatlining and wind speed occasionally does not compare well with
co-located ECOR. Problems with the height of the mount caused the vane to impact the bird
deterrent spikes and "catch". Symptoms appear as winds coming out of a 255 to 270
direction for long period of times. The wind speed values are also affected as the wind
monitor is no longer normal to the wind direction. |
