Subject: | SGP/SMOS/E27 - Wind data incorrect and/or suspect |
DataStreams: | sgp1440smosE27.b1, sgp1smosE27.b1, sgp30smosE27.b1

Description: | A recent ice storm caused the wind speed and wind direction values to flat line to zero.
Both values came back on 1/29/09, but wind direction flat lined at 355 degrees. The wind
direction values appear to recover on the 02/10/2009 but are still suspect. The wind
sensor was replaced on 02/24/2009. |
