Hi Tim, Re KMLB on the 14th of August: Looks like some gaps do exist..and some volume discrepancies around 0700Z I did not run the attached program, but hope this sheds some light.

Jeff, Here is the email from Peter Dodge discussing incomplete VCP12 Level II data. As per our telecon. Any thoughts would be welcomed.

I have obtained all the Archive Level II tar files for H Charley from NCDC (as has Paul Harasti and Wen-Chau lee among others). Now we all have to revise our software to handle VCP 121 but that should not be too big a deal, and should benefit us in the long run. Hpwever, we have a problem with Melbourne data after OOZ on the 14th The data were recorded in VCP 12 and the files are very small. At first I thought they might be bzip2 compressed but that does not seem to be the case. I have a simple C program, chk_nxrd_msg_types.c (I have attched a copy) that dumps out the az el from each radial data record (msg type 1) and also dumps out the other msg types that it finds. I have attached the output from that program for two level II volumes from MLB, for 0001 and 0307 UTC on 14 August. As you can see from the ascii files it looks like a lot of the intermediate sweeps did not make it into the NCDC archive. We are hoping that those data still reside at MLB somewhere. We really would like these dara because they could help in describing the intensity change in Charley - especially in the TBW-MLB dual Doppler lobe. Thanks for any help you can give us! Peter Dodge
