Summary
Abstract: From the abstract for the referenced paper:

The numbers of free living nematodes in more than 40 Macquarie Island soils were recorded at three different times during the year. The principal conditions affecting the populations have been discussed and it is concluded that the numbers and types of algae and bacteria are of major importance since most of the nematode species identified are believed ...

Project
Quality Data quality check and control are applied to generate the TRMM_GV_1C51 data. Each file has a quality control mask for both reflectivity and differential reflectivity. Data are truncated at 200 km (slant range). The quality control mask consists of values from -99 to 99, with -99 indicating a deletion and 99 indicating that the point needs no correction. Values from -10 to +10 in the quality control mask are corrections to the data and are mathematically added to the corresponding data values. No other values are valid. Also included is a table of correction factors, to be mathematically added to the appropriate fields, generally related to the radar platform.
