Subject:
NSA/MWR/C1 - Spikes in air temperature readings
DataStreams:nsamwrtipC1.a1, nsamwrlosC1.b1
Description:
During this month there are occasional negative spikes in the Tkair variable. The problem 
may be corrosion in the temperature sensor or the infiltration of water from melting snow.
The dewblower was replaced and a new sensor installed
Suggestions: 
Users should visually examine the data before using them. Data can be compared with 

measurements from the 2 m tower sensors to assess the extent of the contamination. Points 
that appear to be incorrect should be eliminated.
