Windcube time since August 2012

The CU Windcube endured a (seemingly) chaotic timestamp from Aug. 2012 through early Jan. 2013.  To correct the data to UTC use the following chart:

Windcube Time                                               UTC                                               
2012/08/02 at 22:10 - 2012/09/14 at 02:52                            2012/08/02 at 16:10 - 2012/09/13 at 20:52    
Note:     Windcube is 6 hours ahead of UTC.

2012/09/14 at 14:54 - 2013/01/01 at 17:56                            2012/09/13 at 20:54 - 2013/01/01 at 00:56    

Note:     Windcube is 18 hours ahead of UTC.  Data concludes in WLS7-68_2013_01_01__06_00_00.sta

2013/01/01 at 06:02 - 2013/01/03 at 05:38                            2013/01/01 at 01:02 - 2013/01/03 at 00:38    

Note:      Windcube is 6 hours 4 minutes ahead of UTC.  Data begins in WLS7-68_2013_01_01__06_01_03.sta

2013/01/03 at 19:00 - present                                                2013/01/03 at 19:00 - present                        

Note:      Windcube is 0 hours ahead of UTC.

This table can also be found on breeze in: /data/fielddata/WC_Info/CUwindcubeTimeCorrection.txt

The goal is to keep the Windcube and all other data streams on UTC time from here on out.
