The RWP stopped getting signals, presumably due to failure of the final amplifier.  System 
was turned off on Aug 3, 2007 and no further data were collected.

FKB/RWP/M1 - Chaff released in Murg Valley
DataStreams:fkb1290rwpM1.00, fkb1290rwprawM1.00, fkb1290rwpwindconM1.a1, fkb1290rwpwindmomM1.a0,

Description:
As part of the research activities associated with the COPS field campaign, the research 
center at Karlsruhe released aluminum chaff (2.5 cm in length) in the Murg Valley in order 
to study atmospheric diffusion.  It is possible that some of this chaff drifted over the 
AMF site and thus may have influenced the radar observations (as spurious echos).
