SGP/RWP/I8 - Instrument not transmitting
DataStreams:sgp915rwpwindmomI8.a0, sgp915rwpprecipmomI8.a0, sgp915rwpprecipspecI8.a0, sgp915rwpI8.00,
sgp915rwpwindspecI8.a0, sgp915rwpprecipconI8.a1, sgp915rwpwindconI8.a1
Description:
Due to lightning strike, the instrument was not transmitting. This resulted in data files 
that contain only noise.
Suggestions: 
Use alternate data sources, such as Doppler lidar.
