SGP/NSA/MOLTS/X1 - Misnamed measurements

The short names of the U-component and V-component of the wind are incorrectly 
stated as wdir and wspd in the header. This will be corrected when the ingest is changed 
to process later data.

• Unit Vector Wind Direction(wdir)
• Mean Wind Speed(wspd)

• Unit Vector Wind Direction(wdir)
• Mean Wind Speed(wspd)

• Unit Vector Wind Direction(wdir)
• Mean Wind Speed(wspd)

• Mean Wind Speed(wspd)
• Unit Vector Wind Direction(wdir)

NSA/MOLTS/X1 - Incorrect units

Misnamed units (m2/m2) should be m2/s2.  Will be corrected when ingest is changed to 
process later data.

• Energy, kinetic, from turbulence, at altitude, derived from ETA model(turb_kin)

SGP/NSA/MOLTS/X1- value incorrect

The omega (wind velocity) variable is not been properly reported every 3rd hour, for all 
stations and sounding levels beginning at the 3rd hour.  It is reported as 0 when it 
should be the forecasted value from the previous hour.

• Wind speed, vertical, in pressure coordinates, @ alt, derived from ETA model(omega)

• Wind speed, vertical, in pressure coordinates, @ alt, derived from ETA model(omega)

NSA/MOLTS/X1 - Reprocess: time_offset

The "time_offset" field was incorrectly written as "time_offsets" (extra "s")

• time_offsets

• time_offsets

NSA/MOLTS/X1 - Missing Data

Model Output Location Time Series (MOLTS) data has been missing since
   20061008 after NCEP upgraded its computer system. No information on the
   date when the system is back to normal.
