MLRS data for January 14 0:00UTC - February 16 4:30UTC, 2002 is being
resubmitted with corrected barometric pressure values.  During this time
span the interface between the pressure sensor and the data acquisition
computer behaved erratically, giving incorrect pressure readings.

Pressure readings were corrected using data from another McDonald
Observatory meteorological station. The pressure offset between the 2 met
stations was established from data before and after the problem period.
The RMS of the offset between the 2 met stations is about 1 mB.

The normalpoints' data release flag has been set to '1'. RINEX met data
file headers are dated March 11.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this causes.

Best regards,
Randy Ricklefs
