Subject:	NSA/RWP/C1 - Instrument problem, Data transfer problem
DataStreams:	nsa915rwpwindconC1.a1
Description:	Problems with the coherent integration hardware resulted in repeated ingest failures when too many errors occurred. These cases involved occasions when there were no samples from a single axis (or more) during an averaging interval. If there were sufficient samples, the mean wind speed and direction were reported if normal data criteria were met. However, there were undoubtedly cases when only a few samples were obtained during an averaging interval. Thus the variability of the data is likely increased. The data are correct when reported.

Subject:	NSA/RWP/C1 - Instrument problem
DataStreams:	nsa915rwpwindconC1.a1, nsa915rwpwindmomC1.a0, nsa915rwpwindspecC1.a0
Description:	When data returned to ingest the windcon wind direction and wind speeds are not comparing well with the co-located sondes. Wind direction values are constant, with no changes. Problem is that the phase shifter wiring was bad when it was reinstalled.

Subject:	NSA/TPS/C1 - Reprocess: Incorrect temporal resolution
DataStreams:	nsatpsC1.b1
Description:	The data were incorrectly collected and processed at 1 second temporal resolution rather than 1 minute resolution. Data will be reprocessed to average to 1 minute. Data quality are not compromised by this resolution error.
Measurements:	nsatpsC1.b1: Precipitation, total daily accumulated(precip_total) enclosure_temp Temperature, air(air_temp) Precipitation rate(precip_rate) Mean Wind Speed(wspd)

Description:	The nsa915rwpC1 instrument was being re-booted at the end of the hour resulting in the unnecessary data loss. The time of re-boot was modified to the middle of the hour to avoid the 1-2 data loss period.
