Subject:
documentation change for pressure variable
DataStreams:sgp60wpdnsurfX1.b1
Description:
The XDC documentation for the pressure variable is incomplete- it reads
"pressure" rather than "pressure reduced to sea-level".  It has always
been sea-level pressure although the provider of the data to the XDC (NCDC)
documents it incorrectly as surface pressure.
Suggestions: 
Change the XDC documentation and netcdf header information for the pressure
longname to read "pressure reduced to sea-level".
Measurements:sgp60wpdnsurfX1.b1:
  • north beam elevation angle(ebeam_el_stn)
  • site number(site_num_stn)
  • vertical beam elevation angle(vbeam_el_stn)

  • north beam azimuth angle(nbeam_az_stn)
  • Environmental Temperature (hybrid-b grid)(temp)
  • Pressure reduced to mean sea level(press)
  • Station altitude(alt_stn)
  • Anemometer indicator(anem_ind)
  • -180.0 - +180.0(alt)
