Description:
The MMCR parameter file was taken from Nauru on 8/30/02.  It took several days due to 
communications problems to get the following variables changed to their correct values:

Site, Latitude, Longitude, Altitude

Otherwise, the data are correct.

TWP/MMCR/C1 - Reprocess:Erroneous calibration on ARCS-1 MMCR

Description:
On 9/7/2002 the automatic calibration happened as it was scheduled.  At that point, the 
reflectivity values became unrealistic.  The software is supposed to ignore the calibration 
if it is more than 10%(?) of the previous calibration.  I copied the prior good 
calibration file to restore accurate readings.  The data for this period will need to be 
reprocessed with the correct calibration file.

Description:
During this period, the MMCR at Darwin was cannibalized routinely to keep the Manus and 
Nauru MMCRs operational.  The largest downtime during this period was due to the 
replacement and repair of the antenna.  During attempts to "rebuild" the MMCR, data files may have 
been generated that are of no use.
