    1.19 +     Hi Jim and Forrest,
    1.20 +      
    1.21 +     We recently found out that the data we sent to you two years ago for
    1.22 +     use in your model-data intercomparison activity has  some problems.
    1.23 +
    1.24 +     One of our users discovered problems with the TNPP data for Class
    1.25 +     A site tropical forest biomes. For a description of the problem
    1.26 +     and what we've done to correct it are in the attached html file.
    1.27 +
    1.28 +     The attached csv file has the correct values.  Please remove the
    1.29 +     old file / data and use the new file.
    1.30 +
    1.31 +     We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.  We understand
    1.32 +     that you have a paper in press that uses these data.  Sorry about
    1.33 +     this.
    1.34 +
    1.35 +     I am sending this note to you before we formally make the change
    1.36 +     on our Web site, because you have a paper in press.  When we place
    1.37 +     the revision on our Web site, we will update the data set citation
    1.38 +     and DOI.

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