| Description: | Radiosondes manufactured at Vaisala's Woburn, MA factory during the first
of January 1998 have incorrect serial numbers. Instead of being numbered
8012XXXXX these sondes are numbered 7012XXXXX. Vaisala has been informed
of this, has confirmed the problem, and has corrected their numbering for
all subsequent sondes. 163 incorrectly numbered sondes were shipped to ARM
on 1/9/98. Some have been used at the CF since 1/19/98:1430. |
| Suggestions: | Because some ARM applications and data users track sonde calibration date
(coded into the serial number), they should be informed of the problem. |
