EarthScope's solution was to add a -1 multiplier to the //response data.// Because we have a much smaller volume of this data to fix, and far less of it already distributed prior to this announcement, we have opted to do the opposite; e.g. we invert the //raw data// because the data is what is wrong; not the response.

58 -Do not mix up EarthScope's or the IRIS-NRL node response data with those available at AusPass. Theirs could be inverted relative to our data! We also strongly suspect that the response information at IRIS-NRL is not correct either. In general we have low confidence in the information provided but can confirm that our metadata is at least "pretty close".
