processing by Scintec's black-box FAS code.
No variables have been modified but the timebase has
been adjusted and variables padded with NaNs where
profiles were missing while sodar powered down.

sodar-backscatter--all-profiles.mat
- backscatter profiles only at approx 5-minute intervals

CT2--all-profiles.mat - temperature structure function parameter derived from
backscatter profiles (at ~5 minute intervals)
