Subject:
AWR/SONDE/M1 - Reprocess: Incorrect beginning altitude
DataStreams:awrsondewnpnM1.00, awrsondeM1.00, awrsonderawM1.00, awrsondewnpnM1.b1
Description:
ARM was not responsible for this data, it was only being collected by ARM.  During the AWR 
deployment, SPAWAR replaced their MW21 DigiCORA system with a new MW41 system.  In 
configuring their new system, an error was made which changed the launch site altitude from 
10.1 meters to 37.5 meters.  10.1 is the correct launch site altitude.
Suggestions: 
Since this data was launched using RS92 radiosondes, the altitude can be fixed with a 

simple offset correction by subtracting 27.4 meters from the altitude/height data.  
Vaisala has confirmed that other variables are not affected by this error in configuration.
