Description: | The following soundings done during the subject time period were flown in dual-sonde mode
in which the standard ARM RS92 radiosonde was attached to the same balloon with a NASA
ATR (atmospheric temperature reference) radiosonde. The radiosondes were separated by a 6'
styrofoam bar. To accommodate the additional weight, we used 1200g balloons rather than
350g balloons. Accordingly, we want to alert users that these soundings may reach
higher altitudes than normal for ARM soundings and that the ascent rate may be somewhat
higher. The following soundings are affected:
