NSA/MMCR/C1 - Pulse controller failed due to water damage

nsammcrmode03v0081clothC1.c1, nsammcrmode04v0061clothC1.c1
Description:
Instrument had water damage that fried the pulse controller
card.  Images appear normal, but no clouds were detected
during this period because no radar pulse was being emitted.

Note from Karen Johnson: the ARSCL and MMCRMODE data fields
may or may not be suspect, depending on whether ARSCL correctly
identified the MMCR data as bad.

NSA/MMCR/C1 - No radar pulse transmission

nsammcrmode03v0081clothC1.c1, nsammcrmode04v0061clothC1.c1
Description:
A fault in transmission occurred so no radar pulse was emitted and therefore no return 
signal, only noise, was received.

Note from Karen Johnson: the ARSCL and MMCRMODE data fields
may or may not be suspect, depending on whether ARSCL correctly
identified the MMCR data as bad.

Description:
Data values dropped to background clear sky (noise level).
Other cloud instruments indicated it was cloudy. The MUX
card was replaced and good data started flowing again at 
00 GMT on 3/19.

Note from Karen Johnson: the ARSCL and MMCRMODE data fields
may or may not be suspect, depending on whether ARSCL correctly
identified the MMCR data as bad.
