Subject:	TMP/KASACR/M1 - Reprocess: Mean Doppler Velocity sign reversed
DataStreams:	tmpkasacrvptM1.a1
Description:	The signs of the mean_doppler_velocity field values are incorrect. The ARM convention for this field is that positive velocities indicate motion away from the radar. However, the velocity data in these files have their signs reversed, so that motion TOWARD the radar has a positive sign.
Measurements:	tmpkasacrvptM1.a1: Mean Doppler Velocity(mean_doppler_velocity)

Subject:	TMP/KASACR/M1 - Fluctuations in VPT Data
DataStreams:	tmpkasacrvptM1.a1
Description:	The KASACR was in continuous vertical point mode during this period. There are fluctuations in the data every hour affecting most variables.
Measurements:	tmpkasacrvptM1.a1: Mean Doppler Velocity(mean_doppler_velocity) Copol to corss-polar correlation coefficient (also known as rhocx)(co_to_crosspol_correlation_coeff) cross_polar_differential_phase Linear depolarization ratio(linear_depolarization_ratio) Spectral width(spectral_width) Signal to noise ratio(snr) Daily values of reflectivity on each grid cell(reflectivity)

Start Date	Start Time	End Date	End Time	Data Quality Metric
01/15/2014	1300	09/13/2014	0700	Incorrect

Subject:	TMP/KASACR/M1 - Reprocess: Incorrect calibration constant recorded
DataStreams:	tmpkasacrvptM1.a1
Description:	Files contain incorrect values for calibration constant(s). All other fields are correct, including reflectivities. For moments files, the affected fields are called 'r_calib_radar_constant_h' and 'r_calib_radar_constant_v.' In spectra files, the global attribute 'cal_constant' is incorrect.
Measurements:	tmpkasacrvptM1.a1: r_calib_radar_constant_h r_calib_radar_constant_v
