Identifier	DOI: https://doi.org/10.5065/D64M92RG
Data Quality	final
Versions	1.0 (2016-02-08) 1.1 (2017-09-12): It was determined that the MM1 vehicle contained a wind sensor misalignment which resulted in the the derived wind direction being incorrect by as much as 30-40 degrees. This impacted the data from 3-15 July 2015. This version contains the corrected wind data. (Only the current version of the data is available to order. If you have questions about a prior version, please email us.)
