Data was marked science at the time. I've seen this spike once before but it wasn't as windy/gusty as today. ___end___ Sat Dec 20 19:03:01 GMT 2014 KCOR End Patrol Sat Dec 20 19:03:01 GMT 2014 KCOR Start Calibration script: c:\kcor\mlso-calibration22deg.ini Sat Dec 20 19:18:44 GMT 2014 KCOR End Calibration Script Sat Dec 20 19:18:52 GMT 2014 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Sat Dec 20 20:54:26 GMT 2014 KCOR End Patrol Sat Dec 20 20:54:40 GMT 2014 COMP End Patrol Sat Dec 20 21:00:33 GMT 2014 COMP Start Patrol Sat Dec 20 21:02:34 GMT 2014 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Sat Dec 20 23:58:10 GMT 2014 COMP End Patrol Sat Dec 20 23:58:10 GMT 2014 COMP Start Patrol Sun Dec 21 00:19:44 GMT 2014 COMP End Patrol Sun Dec 21 00:20:16 GMT 2014 COMP Start Patrol GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Sun Dec 21 00:20:17 GMT 2014 SGS and Comp realigned.
