Subject:	NSA/AERI/C1 - External Temperature Sensor Failed
DataStreams:	nsaaerich1C1.a1, nsaaerich2C1.a1, nsaaerisummaryC1.a1, nsaaeriengineerC1.a1
Description:	There appear to have been some problem with the external temperature sensor. The outside temperature sensor data is not used in the derivation of the spectral IR data and are just a diagnostic tool. We have not found what caused this behaviour.

Subject:	NSA/AERI/C1 - Data file header manipulated
DataStreams:	nsaaerich1C1.a1, nsaaerich2C1.a1, nsaaerisummaryC1.a1, nsaaeriengineerC1.a1
Description:	The NSA.C1 AERI data for 19990321 and 19990324 were processed on July 23, 2004 using version 1.24 of the ingest. This resulted in the creation of .b1 level data files. Because the other March 1999 data are .a1 level data files, the .b1 files were modified using nc_tools (nc_copy, ncvarrename, ncattcopy) to create .a1 level data files. The data in the files were not changed in anyway. Only header modifications were made. The user may notice small header differences between these files and others from March 1999.
