SGP/SMOS/E27 - Instrument problem, Sensor failure
DataStreams:sgp1smosE27.a1, sgp30smosE27.b1, sgp30smosE27.a1, sgp1smosE27.b1
Description:
The SMOS wind sensor at E27 was reporting good wind
direction for 0 and 180 degrees, but bad wind directions 
for 090 and 270 degree (sensor problem).  This problem
was noted during the SMOS 6 month calibration check on
2003-05-15.  Sensor replacement and wiring changes
cleared the problem.
Suggestions: 
Use the co-located EBBR wind direction data.
