SGP/SMOS/E6 - E6 SMOS Wind Direction
DataStreams:sgp1smosE6.a0, sgp30smosE6.a1
Description:
Wind Direction incorrect during this time period.
The bracket used to mount the wind direction sensor
broke (ice suspected) on the 9th of February. It was replaced during
routine maintenance on the 16th of February. We do not know why the data
did not recover until the 22nd.
Measurements:sgp1smosE6.a0:
  • Unit Vector Wind Direction(wdir)

sgp30smosE6.a1:
  • Unit Vector Wind Direction(wdir)

SGP/SMOS/E6 - E6 SMOS Wind Direction
DataStreams:sgp1smosE6.a0, sgp30smosE6.a1
Description:
Wind Direction incorrect during this time period.

We noticed the data was incorrect on the 28th of February.  
During routine maintenance on the 1st of March the
technician checked the wind direction sensor and noted that 
it needed to be replaced (no spares on hand at the time).  
On the 15th of March the sensor was replaced.
