Subject:	NSA/MET/C1 - Met data incorrect during calibration
DataStreams:	nsametC1.b1, nsatwrC1.b1
Description:	All met data from the tower booms (temp, RH, winds and derived variables) were incorrect due to the booms being lowered from their measurement heights. Additionally, the scaffolding was located directly adjacent to the booms affecting the wind field and the Temp/RH data.

Description:	There is a minor shading issue at high zenith angles (0530 - 1630 UTC). Due to extremely persistent cloudy conditions, maintenance was not attempted until 20090811. Cloudy conditions persisted, and it was never clear from the data if the instrument was shading properly at high zenith angles. Therefore, the DQR end date is listed as the time maintenance was performed.

Subject:	NSA/MET/C1 - 2m RH values incorrect
DataStreams:	nsametC1.b1, nsatwrC1.b1
Description:	The new t/rh probe installed during annual calibrations and checks began to exhibit readings that were biased high compared to the Chilled Mirror Hygrometer. In high RH conditions the sensor would consistently report RH values in excess of 105%. Comparisons to the other tower levels also suggested that the 2m level RH data is suspect.
