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:	The slope value to convert the rotation of the propeller from engineering units to meters/second was incorrectly given as .098 when it should have been .0049. Conversion was converting hertz to meters/second when it should have been converting rpm's to meters/second.
Measurements:	sgp1440smosE13.b1: maximum wind speed (gusts)(max_wspd) Minimum of Wind speed(min_wspd) sgp1smosE13.b1: Mean Wind Speed(wspd)

Subject:	SGP/SMOS/E13 - RH sensor failure
DataStreams:	sgp1440smosE13.b1, sgp1smosE13.b1, sgp30smosE13.b1
Description:	The T/RH sensor relative humidity data is suspect during this time. Values from this sensor failed the 6-month check and subsequent bi-weekly checks. The RH values were lower by larger than the manufacturer suggested uncertainty of 3%.

DataStreams:	sgp1440smosE13.b1, sgp1smosE13.b1, sgp30smosE13.b1
Description:	An ice storm caused the wind data from the RM Young wind sensor to be incorrect. In many instances it was frozen and unmoving, at times it measured values but those are extremely suspect.
Measurements:	sgp1440smosE13.b1: Time of Minimum Wind Speed(time_min_wspd) maximum wind speed (gusts)(max_wspd) Minimum of Wind speed(min_wspd) Time of Maximum Wind Speed(time_max_wspd) sgp1smosE13.b1: Standard Deviation of wind direction(sd_deg) Unit Vector Wind Direction(wdir) Wind Speed (vector averaged)(wspd_va) Mean Wind Speed(wspd) sgp30smosE13.b1: Standard Deviation of Wind Speed(sd_wspd) Standard Deviation of wind direction(sd_deg) Mean Wind Speed(wspd) Wind Speed (vector averaged)(wspd_va) Unit Vector Wind Direction(wdir)
