Remove HAWMN (MARONET) Dataset?

[juancho.gossn]

Dear NASA colleagues,

I've been working recently with the MarONet dataset that you kindly distribute at https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/api/file_search under sensor ID 51.

I noticed that there are two different sets of L1B's according to two locations: Australia (maronet.aus) and Hawaii (maronet.hawmn). When trying to work with the HAWMN dataset I found that all of it contains actually NaNs under the key variables such as Lw. I discussed this with Stephanie Flora and she confirmed that “HAWMN” dataset is supposed to be a test dataset that should not be available to the public.

Having said this, I agree with her that this dataset should be removed to avoid confusion to other users. Would you agree?

Cheers,
