Local Episodic Effects Possibly Affecting Data Quality 10.1 Date : 2012-02-03/2012-02-03 Event : Transitioned from .soc to .ash data types. For : soc data types used soc2rnx to do the : conversion to RINEX data. For ash data types : using teqc directly to do the conversion to : RINEX. 10.2 Date : 2012-11-04/2013-02-21 Event : During this time the station was without : an inline amplifier. Lack of amplifier caused : low observations and high mp1 and mp2 values. 10.x Date : (CCYY-MM-DD/CCYY-MM-DD) Event : (TREE CLEARING/CONSTRUCTION/etc) 11.
