Subject:
NIM/MET/M1 - PWD 1 minute rainfall data suspect
DataStreams:nimmetM1.b1
Description:
The Present Weather Detector is a serial sensor.  The MET system datalogger reads in the 
data from this sensor.  During the time in question serial comms problems were causing the 
data from the sensor to be read incorrectly.  The data for one variable showed up in 
data for another variable or not at all.  We reprocessed the data to correct as much of this 
error as we could. We cannot be entirely certain that all rainfall values are correct or 
were captured properly.  It is possible that some values were missed completely.
Suggestions: 
Users should view the rainfall data from the PWD during this time suspiciously and 

compare closely with the Optical Rain Gauge before using it.
