*1In some cases the equation variables are averages.Consult the listing for exact details.All quantities are recorded at 1 Hz unless otherwise noted.
*3The raw count for the electric field mills are multiplied with -1, so that a positive voltage out of the meter yielded a negative value of the electric field it was sensing. (valid for 2002 project)
*4Data recorded and processed as UTC.
*5DMT LW formula corrected after STEPS project.
*6Kopp updraft formula adjusted during STEPS.
