Subject:
SGP/DISDROMETER/C1 - False reports of precip
DataStreams:sgpdisdrometerC1.b1
Description:
A number of days during this period show indications of rain on dry days.  This occurred 
during windy periods when vibrations of the splash guard resulted in many small drops 
being recorded.  The splash guard has been removed and the Instrument Handbook has been 
updated with a larger section describing this issue (Section 5.3 on known problems).
Suggestions: 
Use sgprainC1, sgporgC1, or sgp30smosE13 for precipitation data
