NSA/SONDE/C1 - Increased precision for alt, dp, pres, rh, tdry

The output precision of the following variables was increased 20060929:

   alt	changed from 1m to 0.1m
   dp	changed from 0.1degC to 0.01degC
   pres changed from 0.1 hPa to 0.01 hPa
   RH	changed from 1%RH to 0.01%RH
   tdry changed from .1degC to 0.01degC

Note that the increase in precision does not necessarily imply an increase
in accuracy.  Users are cautioned to continue to use their best scientific
judgement when using these or any other data.

NSA/MWRP/C1 - Reprocess: Incorrect calibration coefficients

The radiometer data need to be reprocessed with new calibrations.

NSA/MWRP/C1 - Rapid calibration drift

The radiometer calibration was rapidly drifting. Brightness temperatures as well as 
retrievals are incorrect.

NSA/TPS/C1 - Unknown

DMF stopped receiving data from the NSA TPS C1 instrument. Communications were disrupted 
when antenna broke. Datalogger filled up and over-wrote older data.
