* On dates 000604 and 010623 the times from the citation were off by 2 hours the times recorded here are the corrected times. And on 010217 the times from the citation were 5 hour different.


Dates to be compared with:

Sept 26, 2002 Starting the microphysics reprocessing in order to show the 1DC probe data and spectra series. Microphysics after June 10, 2001 (when lightning struck the aircraft) will also be improved.
Aug 16, 2002 Electric fields produced using the mer routine will have the cal pulses removed.
Aug 16, 2002 MER plots will have a "free hand" time so they can be compared with other pieces. Also “true airspeed” will be used.
Jun 06, 2002 If the Track with winds contains “Note: 1 km represents 1 m/s windspeed” it is the correct one, else winds are wrong.
Apr 25, 2002 Microphysics code modified to capture earliest times without affecting the 15min blocks
Apr 05, 2002 MER code plots 3 volume scans.
Mar 01, 2002 Microphysics code in acceptable form
