Discussion of Problem: This sounding was done in NORMAL (as opposed
to RESEARCH mode for winds as well as for the
thermodynamic variables. The "normal" mode
is to use RESEARCH processing for the winds.
The wind data included in this data file will
have been subjected to the Vaisala processing
algorithms and will appear somewhat smoother
than our typical sounding.
Other observations/measurements impacted by this problem: The horizontal
convergence and tendency algorithms we use
include their own wind smoothing algorithms.
These may be affected by using this data set.
I'm not sure which specific ones are involved,
we should check with Marty Leach and/or John
Yio.
Suggested Corrections of the Problem: (e.g. change calibration factor and
recompute, flag data with this comment, etc.) Users should be notified and,
if (and only if) requested, the sounding could be reprocessed either using
the software developed at the EC or the digi-CORA.
