 ___  questionable                      _X_  All data fields affected
 _X_  incorrect                         ___  Only some data fields affected
 ___  wrong calibration
 ___  others 
 
 Discussion of Problem:

The surface wind speed was entered by the operator as 103 m/s.  This is
clearly a typo and was flagged by the automatic QC check.  The surface
speed at 2000 was 0.9 and at 2100 was 0.0.  It is likely the operator
intended to enter either 1.3 or 0.3 m/s.

 
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.)

Flag data.
