DataStreams:	sgp1smosE13.b1, sgp30smosE13.b1, sgp1440smosE13.b1
Description:	During the time periods specified, the SMOS.E13 tower was lowered for 6-month Calibration Checks. During these times wind data are incorrect and temperature and humidity data may be incorrect. Note, exact times when tower was down or maintenance was being performed is sometimes unknown. Users should use the remaining data from these days with caution.

DataStreams:	sgp1smosE13.b1, sgp30smosE13.b1, sgp1440smosE13.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.
