MADIS Known Data Issues

TAMDAR data
Issue: Pressure Altitude

Details:
Prior to 10/28/2020, MADIS was storing GPS altitude data as pressure altitude data in the ABO netCDF files. This was due to improper encoding of the information from the provider. After 10/28/2020 the pressure altitude is being stored correctly.
