Subject:	SGP/SMOS/E13 - Sensor failure
DataStreams:	sgp1smosE13.a1, sgp1smosE13.b1, sgp30smosE13.a1, sgp30smosE13.b1, sgp1440smosE13.a1
Description:	Beginning around 1415 UTC on 08/30, the RH readings for this instrument were frequently around 0 (sometimes there are erratic spikes upward from 0 for periods of time). Rainfall appears to have been the cause of the erroneous readings, as the instrument appeared to fail in and around the time of heavy rains. A maintenance visit occurred on 09/04, afterwards data returned to normal values.

Description:	On 08/30, after heavy rains had fallen, the RH sensor began occasionally reporting readings of around 0 or erratic data. Although frequently readings appearred reasonable, they unpredictably dropped or become erratic again for long periods of time. The sensor was replaced on 09/11/2003 @ 16:40 GMT.
