Subject:	NSA/METTWR/C1 - C1 WIND SPEED DATA QUESTIONABLE
DataStreams:	nsamettwrC1.a1, nsamettwrC1.b1
Description:	The anemometers located at all 4 levels (2m, 10m, 20m, and 40m) are heated anemometers. The thermistors controlling the amount of power applied to the cups of the anemometers failed. This caused too much power to be sent to the heating elements. The cups bubbled and, in some cases, completely melted through.

Subject:	NSA/BMET/C2 - NSA/METTIPTOWER/C2 - C2 MET DATA MISSING
DataStreams:	nsamettiptwrC2.a1, nsamettiptwrC2.b1
Description:	Due to unknown wiring differences and pin changes by Vaisala to their Wind Speed and Direction sensors, a power feedback into the QLI data collector occurred. This caused an overload which shut the QLI data collector down. Once trouble shooting pinpointed the power feedback, wiring diagrams were created and the differences were found. Wiring was changed to prevent and remove the power feedback.

Subject:	NSA/METTWR/C1 - 2m level data incorrect
DataStreams:	nsamettwr4hC1.b1
Description:	The 2m data for temp, RH, dew point, wind speed wind direction & vapor pressure were incorrect. The voltage values for the datalogger at that level were reporting as 60V with excursions to 100V. These values should have damaged the logger at that level. After an extended power outage on 08/04 the data all became reasonable. There is no explanation as to the cause of this failure.

Subject:	NSA/METTOWER - Questionable NSA Met-tower wind data
DataStreams:	nsametC1.00, nsamettwrC1.a1
Description:	The data analysis software for the NSA Met_tower system was upgraded at 2200 GMT on 8 SEP 1999. The upgrade included replacement of missing data with -99.99's when the routine that polled the Met-tower sensors timed out. This resulted in large negative spikes in the 1-min averages. These spikes almost always occurred during the first several 1-min periods of a half-hour data processing routine. On 25 OCT 1999 at 2300 the routine that replaced missing data was changed to insert the previous 1-min averaged data instead of -99.99. Since at the most only one or two values are missing in ay averaging period, this change results in a reasonable estimate of the true mean values

Subject:	NSA/METTOWER - Questionable NSA Met-tower wind data
DataStreams:	nsametC1.00, nsamettwrC1.a1
Description:	The data analysis software for the NSA Met-tower system was upgraded at 2200 GMT on 8 SEP 1999. The upgrade included insertion of -99.99's for the wind vectors when the wind speed or direction were either missing or equal to 0. This resulted in incorrect vector averaged wind speed, wind direction, and standard deviation of wind direction. When this occurred, the vector-averaged wind speed and standard deviation of wind direction were often abnormally high and the vector-averaged wind direction was often approximately 225 deg. Starting at 2300 GMT on 25 OCT 99 missing wind data were replaced by the previous 1-min average and starting at 2200 GMT on 15 NOV 1999 the computed wind vectors were used whenever wind speeds or wind directions were 0.
