07.18.08 -- AIRS multi-day product, counts doubled
The AIRS Project Team has discovered an error in the software that combines the daily Level 3 Product (AIRSX3STD, AIRH3STD, AIRS3STD) to create the multi-day products (AIRX3ST8, AIRX3STM, AIRH3ST8, AIRH3STM, AIRS3ST8, AIRS3STM). The total counts of all points that fall within a 1x1 deg grid cell (whether included in the final product or not) have been double-counted when creating the multi-day products.

The following fields in the L3 multi-day products are incorrect. They are off by a factor of 2. Users of these fields in the L3 multi-day products should divide the values by 2.
TotalCounts_MW_A
TotalCounts_MW_D
TotalCounts_A
TotalCounts_D

The values in these fields in the daily L3 products are correct. They are incorrect only in the multi-day L3 products.
