    16      Hi Jim and Forrest,
       
    17       
       
    18      We recently found out that the data we sent to you two years ago for
       
    19      use in your model-data intercomparison activity has  some problems.
       
    20 
       
    21      One of our users discovered problems with the TNPP data for Class
       
    22      A site tropical forest biomes. For a description of the problem
       
    23      and what we've done to correct it are in the attached html file.
       
    24 
       
    25      The attached csv file has the correct values.  Please remove the
       
    26      old file / data and use the new file.
       
    27 
       
    28      We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.  We understand
       
    29      that you have a paper in press that uses these data.  Sorry about
       
    30      this.
       
    31 
       
    32      I am sending this note to you before we formally make the change
       
    33      on our Web site, because you have a paper in press.  When we place
       
    34      the revision on our Web site, we will update the data set citation
       
    35      and DOI.

    48 On Jan 26, 2009, I moved the original data.81 file to data.81.rev0.bad and
       
    49 data.81.nc to data.81.rev0.bad.nc.  Then I copied the file provided by the
       
    50 ORNL DAAC, called EMDI_ClassA_NPP_81_R1.csv, to data.81 and re-generated
       
    51 data.81.nc using the NCL script clamp/npp/01.read_ascii_81.ncl
