Subject:	NSA/RWP/C1 - Instrument problem, Data transfer problem
DataStreams:	nsa915rwpwindconC1.a1
Description:	Problems with the coherent integration hardware resulted in repeated ingest failures when too many errors occurred. These cases involved occasions when there were no samples from a single axis (or more) during an averaging interval. If there were sufficient samples, the mean wind speed and direction were reported if normal data criteria were met. However, there were undoubtedly cases when only a few samples were obtained during an averaging interval. Thus the variability of the data is likely increased. The data are correct when reported.

Subject:	NSA/RWP/C1 - Missing data blocks
DataStreams:	nsa915rwptempconC1.a1, nsa915rwptempmomC1.a0, nsa915rwptempspecC1.a0, nsa915rwpwindconC1.a1, nsa915rwpwindspecC1.a0, nsa915rwpwindmomC1.a0
Description:	The nsa915rwpC1 instrument was being re-booted at the end of the hour resulting in the unnecessary data loss. The time of re-boot was modified to the middle of the hour to avoid the 1-2 data loss period.
