This directory,"/home/eos/in-situ.data/mmsa/1997/met", contains
raw (data directly off the datalogger) meteorological and conductance 
data acquired at the Mammoth Mtn. Ski Area meteorological station. 
The data for Jan. 1 - 30, 1997 was received from Rick Kattelmann,
UCSB/ICESS.  The remainder of this data was received from 
Bert Davis & Bryan Harrington at CRREL in New Hampshire
in early 1998, with the exception of the data in the "oct-Dec" directory,
which contains data files recieved from John Fiori (CRREL) in
April 1998. The original
tar file, plus some other files from CRREL are in the directory called
"/home/eos/in-situ.data/mmsa/crrel/raw/1997/crrel_files".

I noticed that the data from CRREL came
in a different format. Fiori said the format changed with the use of 
PC208W software when crrel installed a new computer.

Gaps in data acquisition occured.  Some of the larger gaps are between Feb4
and Feb 17, June 20 - July 2, and Oct.1 - Oct. 11.  

1997 was a year of flux.  CRREL started setting up a new system
there early in the year (Jan?) and it was quite some time before
programs/sensors/communications/etc. stablized.  You will find a few ".wc"
files in this directory that I generated.  The "wc" stands for word count.
There are a number of places where the wc file indicates that the number of
columns/row changed.  The initial readme files that were provided by
CRREL, did not describe those changes. Updated readmes were provided by crrel
in April 98 and should now correctly reflect what is found in the data (Rick
is currently checking on this.)

Update, D.Donahue 1/99:  Weimin Li wrote a perl program, which re-formated the
Jan - Sept. 1997 files into a comma delimited format.  At Rick's request, he
also concatenated daily files.  These files end in .dat. 

Update, D.Donahue,1/3/2002:  In the very near future /home/eos/in-situ/mmsa will 
be equal to /home/mmsa.  The /home/eos/in-situ.data/mmsa/crrel/ directory will be 
available on unix only (not on neige).
