TMP/KASACR/M1 - Reprocessed and Corrected:Mean Doppler Velocity sign reversed

DATA REPROCESSED and CORRECTED: 

The signs of the mean_doppler_velocity field values were incorrect. The ARM convention for 
this field is that positive velocities indicate motion away from the radar. However, the 
velocity data in earlier files have their signs reversed, so that motion TOWARD the 
radar has a positive sign.

The mean_doppler_velocity field was multiplied by -1 to correct this, and now velocity 
data indicates motion away from the radar.

The data was were archived March 2017. Please retrieve the modified data for use in your 
analysis

has a positive sign.

• Mean Doppler Velocity(mean_doppler_velocity)

TMP/KASACR/M1 - Fluctuations in VPT Data

The KASACR was in continuous vertical point mode during this period.  There are 
fluctuations in the data every hour affecting most variables.

• 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)

TMP/KASACR/M1 - Reprocess: Incorrect calibration constant recorded

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.
