TWP/ARSCL/C3 - Reprocess: ARSCL CloudBasePrecipitation field incorrect

Description:
The CloudBasePrecipitation field is incorrect and has no physical meaning.  An ARSCL 
processing error occurred when the smet60s data stream format changed, causing the wrong data 
field to be used to supply precipitation measurements to the ARSCL VAP.  The error caused 
no significant degradation in other ARSCL fields, since manual quality control corrected 
any related errors.

TWP/ARSCL/C3 - Reprocess: MMCR Height offset affects ARSCL cloud boundaries
DataStreams:twparscl1clothC3.c1, twparsclbnd1clothC3.c1, twpmmcrmode1bl200511041clothC3.c1,
twpmmcrmode2ci200511041clothC3.c1, twpmmcrmode3ge200511041clothC3.c1,

Description:
MMCR heights were recorded as being too high by the following amounts:
   Mode 1: 24.8756 m too high
   Mode 2: 25.6249 m too high
   Mode 3: 33.1176 m too high
   Mode 4: 33.1176 m too high

These errors may affect cloud boundaries that are determined by combining MMCR and MPL 
measurements;  radar moments heights will be off by these amounts also.

NOTE: reprocessing is underway.  20060101-20060228 have been reprocessed and archived.  
These data cover the period of TWP-ICE.
