TWP/CEIL/C1 - Data dropouts
DataStreams:twpceilC1.b1, twpceilC1.00
Description:
The Manus ceilometer was not receiving complete data packs from the ceilometer. This 
occurred at irregular intervals up to 3-10 times per hour until an error occurred and the 
computer locked up.  The data were not affected when they were successfully collected.  Days 
on which the data are missing for more than 1 hour are listed below.  Some maintenance 
was done on the ceilometer data computer in November and the computer was ultimately 
replace on 3 January 2005.
