Nikki, All,

The situation is rather dire due to this latest loss of data. As you can see in the attached daily analysis report, there are hardly any data for Dec. 10 and NO DATA AT ALL for Dec. 11 and 12. As a result, our analysis fails to produce any meaningful results for these dates and was disqualified from the official ILRS combination. I understand to some extent that there was a problem on Dec. 10, but here we are on Dec. 13 and the data are still not online. If this is not corrected to ensure that it does not happen again, we will have to switch to using the European Data Center, which will in effect mean that ALL ILRS ACs will depend on a single data center. I find this unacceptable when NASA spends money to support a US-based center.
