Description:	During the time periods specified, the SMOS.E21 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 To view all 6-month calibration reports leave the date time entry blank.

Subject:	SGP/SMOS/E27 - Rain fall data incorrect
DataStreams:	sgp1smosE27.b1, sgp30smosE27.b1
Description:	Rainfall data incorrect. Technicians found gauge plugged and full of water. Gauge was unplugged and all water ran through funnel. Data appear to be measuring a massive deluge when in fact no rain was occurring.

DataStreams:	sgp1smosE21.b1, sgp30smosE21.b1, sgp1440smosE21.b1
Description:	The wind direction is flatlining and wind speed occasionally does not compare well with co-located ECOR. Problems with the height of the mount caused the vane to impact the bird deterrent spikes and "catch". Symptoms appear as winds coming out of a 255 to 270 direction for long period of times. The wind speed values are also affected as the wind monitor is no longer normal to the wind direction.
