A few notes:
* Each file is labeled by it's month and year.
* In QC'ing the data, I did not remove the "bad" data points. Instead, I 
created an extra column that notes whether the data point has been removed or 
not.  Basically, for temp_1 there is a column r_temp_1.  If r_temp_1 is set to 
1, the data point has been removed.  If r_temp_1 is set to 0, the data point 
has not been removed.  Then, when I read the data in to be plotted, I used the 
r_temp_1 setting to determine if I should read the data point in. The data for 
temp_2, temp_3, wspd_1, wspd_2, etc. are set up the same way.  Let me know if 
you have questions on this.

The column headers are as follows.

Year, Month, Day, Hour, Min, Sec, Rec_num, PTemp, Batt_Volt, Temp_1, r_temp_1, 
Temp_2, r_temp_2, Temp_3, r_temp_3, Temp_4, r_temp_4, Temp_5, r_temp_5, Temp_6,
r_temp_6, Press, ws_cups1, r_ws_cups_1, ws_cups_2, r_ws_cups_2, ws_cups_3, 
r_ws_cups_3, wspd_1, r_wspd_1, wdir_1, wspd_2, r_wspd_2, wdir_2, wspd_3, 
r_wspd_3, wdir_3, wspd_4, r_wspd_4, wdir_4, net_SW, net_LW, RH_1, RH_3, 
Raw_dist, Signal_qual, Dist
