Platform/Measurement:
	What level data: (raw,a0,a1,b1,c1 etc): a1, a2

    What location was the data collected at: CF
 
    Period of time in question
 	Begin Date   10/20/93     Time     :      (GMT)
 	End Date     5/20 /95     Time     :      (GMT)

 Data should be labeled:
 ___  questionable                      ___  All data fields affected
 ___  incorrect                         ___  Only some data fields affected
 ___  wrong calibration
 _x__  others 
 
 Discussion of Problem:
Virtual temperatures reported by the rwps are labelled as "temperature", 
rather than "virtual temperature".


 
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.)
The ingest is being changed to have the appropriate name.
