| Description: | On 9/7/2002 the automatic calibration happened as it was scheduled. At that point, the
reflectivity values became unrealistic. The software is supposed to ignore the calibration
if it is more than 10%(?) of the previous calibration. I copied the prior good
calibration file to restore accurate readings. The data for this period will need to be
reprocessed with the correct calibration file. |
