Hi Jim and Forrest,

We recently found out that the data we sent to you two years ago for
use in your model-data intercomparison activity has some problems.

One of our users discovered problems with the TNPP data for Class
A site tropical forest biomes. For a description of the problem
and what we've done to correct it are in the attached html file.

The attached csv file has the correct values. Please remove the
old file / data and use the new file.

We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause. We understand
that you have a paper in press that uses these data. Sorry about
this.

I am sending this note to you before we formally make the change
on our Web site, because you have a paper in press. When we place
the revision on our Web site, we will update the data set citation
and DOI.

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