Subject:
SGP/RL/C1 - Malfunction in WFOV data acquisition
DataStreams:sgp10rlprofbe1turnC1.c0, sgprlprofmerge1turnC1.c0, sgprlC1.a0
Description:
A malfunction in the data acquisition hardware resulted in corrupted data in the 
wide-field-of-view (WFOV) nitrogen, water vapor and elastic channels. The problem is so serious as 
to yield these signals useless during the period covered by this DQR.

Do not use any data products derived from the WFOV raw signals during the period covered 
by this DQR. This includes water vapor mixing ratio, aerosol scattering ratio, and aerosol 
extinction. 

The narrow-field-of-view (NFOV)channels are unaffected by this problem. So data products 
derived from only the NFOV channel should be okay. These include the 'high' channel 
signals from the merge VAP, depolarization and temperature.
Suggestions: 
Do not use data
