Subject:
SGP/SMOS/E6 - SMOS Wind direction low
DataStreams:sgp30smosE6.b1, sgp1smosE6.b1
Description:
The wind direction reported by the SMOS went from being 7 degrees too low at the beginning 
of 2005 (the 7 degrees is a result of misalignment of the SMOS tower by 7 degrees) to 
15-20 degrees too small by November 2005.

The wind sensor was replaced, bringing the wind direction back to being 7
degrees too small.
Suggestions: 
Suggestions: Use the ECOR wind direction as a comparison or a replacement for the 

SMOS wind direction.
