NSA/TWRCAM/C2 - Reflection on image during darkness
DataStreams:nsatwrcam3mC2.a1
Description:
During darkness, there appears to be a green light on the ground about 7 meters from the 
tower the camera is pointing at.  We have deduced that this is, in fact, a reflection of a 
LED behind the camera in its housing.  This spring, the camera will be slid forward 
towards the enclosure window eliminating this reflection.

Since the images are of minimal use during darkness, this DQR is being submitted to 
explain the existence of the reflection.

SGP/NWS/X1 - Six second soundings upgraded to one second soundings for Norman, OK
DataStreams:sgp06snwsupaounX1.00, sgp06snwsupaounX1.b1
Description:
On November 13, 2006 the Norman, OK changed over to the Radiosonde Replacement System 
(RRS).  With the change to RRS there were some changes in the instrumentation and data 
processing:
1) The winds are now from a GPS.
2) The data are now at 1 second vertical resolution.
3) There is some additional information in the header records.
4) The smoothed and processed version of the data have been used. Corrections, such as the 
solar radiation correction, have been applied. 

Additional details available in http://www.arm.gov/xds/static/nwsupa.stm under Data User 
Notes.

After October 31, 2006 the name of the datastream changed from sgp06snwsupaounX1.b1 to 
sgp01snwsupaounX1.b1
