Subject:	TWP/MWR/C3 - Instrument failure, Power outage
DataStreams:	twpmwrtipC3.a1, twpmwrlosC3.a1, twpmwrlosC3.b1, twpmwrC3.00
Description:	A lightning strike sent the MWR offline. The radiometer suffered extensive damage, was removed from the site and sent to the vendor for repair. A spare radiometer was sent to the TWP/C3 site and was installed on 12/07. However, some hardaware communication issues prevented data collection until 12/10.

Subject:	TWP/MWR/C3 - REPROCESS- Updated retrieval coefficients
DataStreams:	twpmwrlosC3.b1, twpmwrtipC3.a1
Description:	The statistical retrieval coefficients currently in use at the Darwin (TWP/C3) site were developed using radiosonde RS80 launched from Manus Island during the TOGA-COARE experiment. Data from Manus Island have minimal seasonality, therefore a single, annual set of coefficients was used at all three sites. Retrievals using these coefficients are sufficiently accurate especially during the local summer months (December-January). However, the Darwin site displays a summer/winter seasonality resulting in larger differences during the southern winter (May- June). Since we now have enough radiosonde soundings (RS80 and RS90) available at the Darwin site, the Darwin coefficients were modified to better reflect the local seasonality.
