Subject:
HFE/MWRRET/M1 - Reprocess: Data transfer problem
DataStreams:hfemwrret1liljclouM1.s2, hfemwrret1liljclouM1.c2
Description:
The 6 missing days affects the variable offsets determined from historical data. 
The data quality is not impacted because the period of missing data is so small the change 
to the offsets was less than the uncertainty of the calculations.
Suggestions: 
null
