Dai removed these files on Sept 10 2002 to make space on /home/hilo/ftp
which was full. These data have been quality controlled now in the 
rescue project. See Dai for details.

These data have NOT been thoroughly checked for quality, 
so be aware that you are using these data at your own risk.
 
This directory contains the older high resolution wind data available from the
older versions of the electronics tubes.  The time word on all of these files
is the time that the average was made (i.e., end of the average period).
The PW,HW, and RW files contain date (yyddd), time word (hhmm, GMT),
U (east-west) vector component of the wind, V (north-south) vector component
of the wind.  Both U and V are reported in meters/second.  U (V) is positive
when the wind is blowing towards the east (north).  The HM files also contain
relative humidity data.
 
PW:  1 hr averaged: sampled at 2 hz continuously and then vector averaged.
RW:  2 hr averaged: sampled at 2 hz continuously and then vector averaged.
HW:  6 hr averaged: sampled at 2 hz for 1 minute out of every 10 and vector avg.
HM:  6 hr averaged: sampled at 2 hz for 1 minute out of every 10 and vector avg.
 
If you GET any of these data, please notify "atlasrt@pmel.noaa.gov" 
so that we can inform you of any modifications to the data sets.  
Also, please provide a 1-2 line description of your intended use 
of the data, so that we can advise you of other TAO analysis projects 
underway on related topics.  If you use TAO data in publications,

Director.  Also, we would appreciate receiving a preprint and/or reprint 
of those publications utilizing TOGA-TAO data for inclusion in the TAO 
bibliography.  These publications should be sent to:
