Subject:	SGP/RWP/C1 - Reprocess: Wind directions reversed
DataStreams:	sgp915rwpwindconC1.a1, sgp915rwpwindmomC1.a0
Description:	The new phase shifter had the delay lines reversed, which resulted in the beams going in the wrong directions. The speeds are correct and the directions are 180 deg off. Vertical velocities are ok

Subject:	SGP/RWP/C1 - no moments data are available
DataStreams:	sgp915rwptempmomC1.a0, sgp915rwpwindmomC1.a0
Description:	When the upgrade to the Central Facility rwp was installed, the interpretation of the configuration file changed such that it became necessary to explicitly require that moments data be saved within the raw spectral data file. Previously this was not true. The ingest operates in such a way that it just goes a certain number of bytes into the spectral data and takes the following section. Thus bogus moments data files were bing ingested that had essentially no usable information insofar as moments data are concerned. Thus there are no usable moments data files from this time period. At this time I have not been able to determine a method to recreate the raw moments files from the spectral data in any straightforward manner that would result in files with the precise format as presently used.

Subject:	SGP/RWP/C1 - Reprocess: Instrument in non-standard mode for IOP
DataStreams:	sgp915rwptempconC1.a1, sgp915rwptempmomC1.a0, sgp915rwpwindconC1.a1, sgp915rwpwindmomC1.a0, sgp915rwptempspecC1.a0, sgp915rwpwindspecC1.a0
Description:	The SGP.C1 915RWP was operated in a non-standard mode during the Nocturnal Flux IOP (approximately the month of September). The profiler was placed into a constant high temporal and spatial resolution mode rather than alternating between modes as it does routinely. 30 min averages were produced (usually 60 min) at a 60 m gate resolution for both winds and RASS. Data were processed and archived, but the processing algorithm interpreted this data as 2 different power levels per hourly sample rather than 30 minute samples at the same power level. Data will be reprocessed.
