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

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
