GAN/KASACR/S1 -  Reprocessed and Corrected: Mean Doppler Velocity sign reversed

Description:
DATA REPROCESSED and CORRECTED: 

The signs of the mean_doppler_velocity field values were incorrect. The ARM convention for 
this field is that positive velocities indicate motion away from the radar. However, the 
velocity data in these files had their signs reversed, so that motion TOWARD the radar 
had a positive sign. Data were corrected by multiplying the mean_doppler_velocity values 
by -1. This results in motion away from the radar having a positive sign.

The data were archived in March 2017. Please retrieve the reprocessed data for use in your 
analysis.
