ASI/CEIL/M1 - data communication
DataStreams:asiceilM1.b1
Description:
The data were intermittent, especially on 7/19/2016, due to poor serial communication. The 
cable was repaired on 7/21 and the serial device server and instrument were power-cycled 
on 7/28.

ASI/MPL/M1 - Reprocessed and Corrected: New overlap correction
DataStreams:asimplpolfsM1.b1
Description:
DATA REPROCESSED and CORRECTED: 

Vendor recently provided an updated overlap correction file which needed to replace the 
current overlap correction file in use. Data were reprocessed to reflect this new file. 
This does not affect MPL data quality.


The data were archived in December 2016. Please retrieve the reprocessed data for 
use in your analysis.

You may find these data using the ARM Discovery tool at the following link:
