TWP/C1 - Incorrect elevation reported in Manus Data
DataStreams:twpmplC1.a1, twpvceil25kC1.a1, twpvceil25kC1.b1
Description:
Bill Clements reports we have been using 6m MSL as the station elevation of Momote 
(Manus).  This was based on information posted near the station barometer in the Momote Weather 
Service Office.  It turns out that the official WMO station elevation for Momote is 4m 
MSL and the upper air elevation is 5m MSL.

All Manus instruments except the sonde station are at 4m MSL. The sonde launching station 
is at 5m MSL.

Subject:
TWP/VCEIL/C1 - Reprocess: Incorrect serial_number and sum_backscatter fields
DataStreams:twpvceil25kC1.b1
Description:
Attribute serial_number: In most cases, this field is not representative of the actual 
serial number of the instrument because the value did not change when an instrument changed 
locations or was replaced with a spare.
   
Variable sum_backscatter: An out-of-range condition for the "sum of detected and 
normalized backscatter" was reported as 0 instead of missing (-9999). The valid range is 0 - 
0.0999 /srad.
   
This DQR also applies to a1 level data.
