Subject:
SGP/SMOS/E24 - RH values exceeding the specified maximum value
DataStreams:sgp30smosE24.a1, sgp1440smosE24.a0, sgp1smosE24.a0
Description:
Starting on 29 OCT 96, the SMOS at E24 started reporting RH values
      exceeding the specified maximum value.  Lower values of RH may be
      within tolerances.  On 7 NOV 96 during the 6-month Sensor Verifications,
      the T/RH sensor reported a value of 31% RH that agreed with the reference
      within specified tolerances.  The probe continued to report values which
      exceeded 104% and was replaced on 11 FEB 97 at 1930 GMT.  Reported
      values since then appear to be within tolerances.
Suggestions: 
All SMOS E24 humidity data during the period of 29 OCT 96 through
11 FEB 97 at 1930 GMT, should be flagged as questionable.
