Subject:
SGP/EBBR/E26 - Wind Speed Malfunction
DataStreams:sgp5ebbrE26.b1, sgp15ebbrE26.b1, sgp30ebbrE26.b1
Description:
For an unknown reason, the wind speed sensor at Cement began to record very
low wind speeds on a consistent basis, with most of the speeds recorded
reflecting what appeared to be zero wind speed (calibration offset).  When
the sensor was replaced on 5/25/94, it was damaged, although this damage
apparently did not occur until a thunderstorm around midnight (local time)
May 24.  The wind direction sensor was also damaged by the storm at the
same time.  At any rate, the wind speed data during the period listed 
should be considered questionable.  The wind speed sensor was replaced on
May 25, 1994 at 1639.  Old sensor S/N K1032, New sensor S/N K1035.
