Subject:	GAN/MWR/M1 - Missing data
DataStreams:	ganmwrlosM1.b1, ganmwrtipM1.a1
Description:	The MWR was unable to communicate with the software. The problem was identified as an incorrect port configuration.

Subject:	GAN/MET/M1 - Tower lowered and tipped for maintenance
DataStreams:	ganmetM1.b1
Description:	The met tower was lowered for a PIR replacement. All met tower data are questionable during this period.

Subject:	GAN/MET/M1 - Met data questionable
DataStreams:	ganmetM1.b1
Description:	Met data are questionable during this time period as the system was being deployed and in various states of operation.
Measurements:	ganmetM1.b1: lat precip_rate_max precip_rate_min wind_spd_arith_sd time_offset Vector-averaged Wind Speed(wind_spd_vec_avg) lon Rain, surface, 1-min avg(precip_rate_mean) Vapor pressure mean(vappress_mean) precip_rate_sd Relative humidity mean(relh_mean) base_time alt Vector-averaged Wind Direction(wind_dir_vec_avg) Barometric Pressure(atmos_pressure) pwd_err_code Mean Air Temperature or Hardware Error(temp_mean) pwd_pw_code_inst pwd_pw_code_1_hr logger_voltage pwd_cumul_water time wind_dir_sd wind_spd_arith_max vappress_sd Average 10 min visibility(pwd_avg_vis_10_min) pwd_avg_H2O_int_1_min wind_spd_arith_min pwd_cumul_snow pwd_pw_code_15_min pwd_id Wind speed, lower, 1-min avg(wind_spd_arith_avg) logger_temp Average 1 min visibility(pwd_avg_vis_1_min) temp_sd org_carrier_mean relh_sd

Subject:	GAN/GNDRAD/M1 - IRT calibration error
DataStreams:	gangndrad60sM1.b1
Description:	The IRT surface temperature reported was incorrect because the analog output configuration did not agree with the data logger scale factors. The IRT configuration was corrected on 10/9.
Measurements:	gangndrad60sM1.b1: Effective Surface (Skin) Temperature(sfc_ir_temp) Surface Infra-Red Temperature Minima(sfc_ir_temp_min) Surface Infra-Red Temperature Maxima(sfc_ir_temp_max)

Subject:	GAN/MET/M1 - Instrument problem
DataStreams:	ganmetM1.b1
Description:	Intermittent backscatter alarms were tripping on the PWD. This suggested something is blocking (dew) or getting into the measurement path (spider or ants). There was no clear indication of the problem.
Measurements:	ganmetM1.b1: pwd_pw_code_15_min pwd_id pwd_pw_code_inst pwd_pw_code_1_hr pwd_cumul_water Average 1 min visibility(pwd_avg_vis_1_min) Average 10 min visibility(pwd_avg_vis_10_min) pwd_avg_H2O_int_1_min pwd_cumul_snow pwd_err_code
