Subject:
NSA/SONDE/C1 - Wind data missing
DataStreams:nsasondewnpnC1.b1
Description:
A GPS problem associated with Vaisala BBSS ground station software issues caused the 
ground stations to enter into an error state when using GPS wind finding. In some instances, 
the flight was aborted due to the error state and not data was collected.  A workaround 
was developed to allow sondes to be launched without collecting wind data.
Measurements:nsasondewnpnC1.b1:
  • wstat
  • Wind speed, S-to-N component, at altitude, derived from ETA model(v_wind)
  • Wind speed, W-to-E component, at altitude(u_wind)
  • Wind speed, surface, 1-min avg(wspd)

Subject:
NSA/SONDE/C1 - Wind data missing
DataStreams:nsasondewnpnC1.b1
Description:
After some power disruptions, the Power Supply board of the SPS220 ground station was 
damaged.  The damage caused the supply to not have enough power to run the GPS board.  
Switching to the back up DigiCora II did not alleviate the problem as the fix for GPS failure 
to all Vaisala sonde products had not been installed.  A different P/S was found and sent 
up to replace the failed one.
Measurements:nsasondewnpnC1.b1:
  • Wind direction, at altitude(deg)
  • Wind speed, S-to-N component, at altitude, derived from ETA model(v_wind)
  • Wind speed, W-to-E component, at altitude(u_wind)
  • Wind speed, surface, 1-min avg(wspd)
