DataStreams:	sgp1440smosE24.a0, sgp1smosE24.a0, sgp30smosE24.a1
Description:	Starting on 29 OCT 96, the SMOS at E24 started reporting RH values exceeding the specified maximum value. Lower values of RH may be within tolerances. On 7 NOV 96 during the 6-month Sensor Verifications, the T/RH sensor reported a value of 31% RH that agreed with the reference within specified tolerances. The probe continued to report values which exceeded 104% and was replaced on 11 FEB 97 at 1930 GMT. Reported values since then appear to be within tolerances.
