SGP/SMOS/E3 - 6-month Calibration Checks
DataStreams:sgp1smosE3.b1, sgp30smosE3.b1, sgp1440smosE3.b1
Description:
During the time periods specified, the SMOS.E3 tower was lowered for 6-month Calibration 
Checks.   During these times wind data are incorrect and temperature and humidity data may 
be incorrect.

Note, exact times when tower was down or maintenance was being performed is sometimes 
unknown.  Users should use the remaining data from these days with caution.

Calibration results are available from the OMIS database at 
    
http://www.ops.sgp.arm.gov:591/smos6cal/default.htm

SGP/MFRSR/E3 - Bad and Missing data
DataStreams:sgpmfrsrE3.00, sgpmfrsrE3.a0, sgpmfrsrE3.b1, sgpmfrsrlangleyE3.c1, sgpmfrsrlangplotE3.c1,

Description:
Summary:  Mentor suggests not using data from this period.  If data from this period are 
important, read the following details to see if any might be useful.

Details:  The logger board was replaced late in the day on 20050921 and there were 
immediate problems.  Channel 615 is too high and 500 is not functioning.  At times in successive 
days 500 will appear for a bit in the morning and look OK, but then flat lines.  This is 
typical behavior for ch 500 through 20060307.  Ch 615 remains high through 20060307 as 
well.

On 20051007 channel 940 drops out.  From this day through 20060307 there are many days and 
times when 940 is flat.  When it is functioning it looks OK.

As far as the other channels go...  They generally look OK, but when considering the 
problems with 500, 615 and 940, the mentor recommends a careful examination before any data 
are used.

On 20060308 maintenance corrected the above problems with one minor exception.  Between 
20060309 and 20060318 channel 940 was still suffering from drop outs and flat lining.  From 
20060319 on all channels look OK.

SGP/MFRSR/E3 - Shadowband Misalignment, Shading Problem
DataStreams:sgpmfrsrE3.00, sgpmfrsrE3.a0, sgpmfrsrE3.b1
Description:
A shading problem began suddenly just after 1900 UTC on 9/5/2005.  The problem is hardly 
noticeable on 9/5, but is quite obvious on 9/6 even though that day is partly cloudy.  
Maintenance on 9/7/2005 corrected the problem.  The mentor recommends not using direct or 
diffuse irradiance data during this period.
