Subject:	GAN/MET/M1 - Intermittent PWD alarm
DataStreams:	ganmetM1.b1
Description:	Intermittent backscatter alarms were tripping on the PWD suggesting something was blocking (dew) or getting into the measurement path (spider or ants). Problem resolved 10/9 with no clear indication of the cause.

Subject:	GAN/RAIN/M1 - Incorrect precipitation data
DataStreams:	ganrainM1.b1
Description:	The weighing bucket rain gauge was not reporting rainfall when other sensors were reporting rainfall, possibly due to configuration or connection problems.

DataStreams:	ganmwrlosM1.b1, ganmwrtipM1.a1
Description:	Between 10/5 and 10/10 the sun was in the field of view of the radiometer approximately between 7 and 8 AM UTC. The brightness temperature display a rapid increase followed by a rapid decrease during this time.

Subject:	GAN/RAIN/M1 - Precipitation not measured
DataStreams:	ganrainM1.b1
Description:	After maintenance and emptying of the bucket, the data flat-lined at zero due to communications problems.

Subject:	GAN/RAIN/M1 - Noise in sensor 3
DataStreams:	ganrainM1.b1
Description:	Sensor 3 was noisy after data collection resumed. This noise cleared up on its own by 20111212 123000 and the noise will only effect the raw data. The ingest which produces the b1 version of the data removes the noise.
