SGP/EBBR/E26 - Wind Direction Sensor Failure
DataStreams:sgp5ebbrE26.b1, sgp15ebbrE26.b1, sgp30ebbrE26.b1
Description:
Wind Direction and resultant wind speed data for the period listed above 
is incorrect.  Wind direction would not record outside 0 to 20 degrees.  
This is a common malfunction in this style of wind direction sensor.  
The sensor was replaced on 13 August 1996.  The old sensor S/N was K3038
and new sensor is S/N K3033.  The affected data values are:

 5 minute: wind_d, sigma_wd, res_ws

15 minute: mv_wind_d

30 minute: wind_d, sigma_wd, res_ws
Suggestions: 
Measurements:sgp5ebbrE26.b1:
  • Wind direction vector mean(wdir_vec_mean)
  • Wind speed vector mean(wspd_vec_mean)
  • Wind direction vector mean standard deviation(wdir_vec_std)

sgp15ebbrE26.b1:
  • Wind direction vector mean (mV)(wdir_vec_mean_mv)
