Subject:
SGP/SMOS/E20 - Bad humidity data
DataStreams:sgp30smosE20.a1, sgp1smosE20.a0
Description:
The Relative Humidity sensor failed.  It appears to have operated
      intermittantly for the first few days of this period and then
      failed entirely.  The temperature portion of the probe appears to
      be unaffected.  The probe was replaced on 20 JUN 96.  The replacement
      probe reported unusually low values of relative humidity.  The probe
      was replaced again on 15 AUG 96 at 1700 GMT.
Suggestions: 
All SMOS E20 humidity data taken between 3 JUN 96
     at 2230 GMT and 15 AUG 96 at 1700 GMT should be flagged as incorrect.
Measurements:sgp1smosE20.a0:
  • Vapor Pressure (kiloPascals)(vap_pres)
  • Relative Humidity (hybrid-b grid)(rh)

sgp30smosE20.a1:
  • Standard Deviation of Relative Humidity(sd_rh)
  • Standard deviation of vapor pressure(sd_vap_pres)
  • Vapor Pressure (kiloPascals)(vap_pres)
  • Relative Humidity (hybrid-b grid)(rh)
  • Total precipitation over one minute sampling period(precip)
