Subject:	MAO/DL/M1 - Banding artifacts in the SNR
DataStreams:	maodlppiM1.b1, maodlfptM1.b1, maodlcal2M1.b1
Description:	Time height displays of the intensity (SNR+1) and backscatter fields exhibit obvious horizontal banding artifacts. The bands are regions where the SNR goes negative - which isn't physical. The problem was caused by a glitch in the noise whitening procedure. The problem was fixed when the driver for the data acquisition card was updated. The radial velocities do not exhibit obvious banding; however, they were likely affected in some way.
Measurements:	maodlppiM1.b1: Attenuated backscatter(attenuated_backscatter) Radial velocity(radial_velocity) intensity maodlfptM1.b1: Attenuated backscatter(attenuated_backscatter) intensity Radial velocity(radial_velocity) maodlcal2M1.b1: Radial velocity(radial_velocity) intensity Attenuated backscatter(attenuated_backscatter)

Subject:	MAO/DL/M1 - Instrument removed from service for repair
DataStreams:	maodlppiM1.b1, maodlfptM1.b1, maodlcal2M1.b1
Description:	The AMF1 Doppler lidar was taken offline and packed for shipping to the vendor (Halo Photonics) on 28 August. Engineers at Halo will preform repairs and upgrades to the instrument. Data from the instrument will not be available for the remainder of the current AMF1 deployment in Brazil.

Subject:	MAO/DL/M1 - Missing Data
DataStreams:	maodlppiM1.b1, maodlfptM1.b1, maodlcal2M1.b1
Description:	The DL suffered from numerous outages during this period. Some of these periods are longer than 24 hours while many are less. The DL was sent off for repairs on 8/28 and will not be deployed again at MAO.
