: Data Quality (jtb)
- Recent obstruction within the tipping bucket rain gauge
prevented accurate recording of precipitation. It appears
the obstruction started on May 12, 2006.

: Daylight Savings Time Adjustment.
- Daylight Savings Time Started on Day=97, Time=200.
- Time of Obs were modified by one hour (forward)
from Day=97, Time=200 through Day=97, Time=405.
: Daylight Savings Time Adjustment.
- Daylight Savings Time Ended on Day=301, Time=200.
- Time of Obs were modified by one hour (subtracted)
from Day=301, Time=200 through Day=301, Time=605.
: Data Correction (Jim Brown)
- Since the Pyranometer was not properly installed until
04/03/2001 (day=93), all solar radiation values prior
to and including 04/03/2001 (day=93) from the raw data
sets were marked to missing and the MAWN database
entries for CERESCO were rebuilt to reflect this
change.
The entries marked to missing were the following:
note: field values assume to start at 00.
Daily Reports (24):
Field 12: Total Solar Radiation
Field 13: Maximum Solar Density
Field 14: Time of Maximum Solar Density
Hourly Reports (60):
Field 06: Solar Radiation
