 Discussion of Problem:
The phase shifter for the profiler may be defunct, presently affecting the
east and west tilted beams.  This affects the resultant speed and direction
by biasing them toward north and south directions because the spectra from
the east and west directions are noisy and ill defined.  The temperatures
from the RASS, vertical velocities, and north and south beams are still ok
although further degradation may occur.  Also the maximum height is
significantly reduced.


 
Other observations/measurements impacted by this problem:



Suggested Corrections of the Problem: (e.g. change calibration factor and
recompute, flag data with this comment, etc.)
Fix the phase shifter.
