Subject:
NSA/SONDE/C1 - This is a test sounding done using an RS80H radiosonde
DataStreams:nsasondewnpnC1.b1
Description:
This was a sounding done using an RS80H radiosonde to test a special operational 
procedure.  There is nothing wrong with the data, though users should be aware that the sounding 
was not done using the current ARM standard RS90 radiosonde.
Measurements:nsasondewnpnC1.b1:
  • surface wind speed(wspd)
  • Wind Direction(deg)
  • Ascent Rate(asc)
  • Dry-Bulb Temperature(tdry)
  • model meridional wind velocity(v_wind)
  • Time offset from base_time(base_time)
  • pressure at constant pressure surface(pres)
  • north latitude for all the input platforms.(lat)
  • model zonal wind velocity(u_wind)
  • east longitude for all the input platforms.(lon)
  • Surface dew point temperature(dp)
  • Wind Status(wstat)
  • Time offset of tweaks from base_time(time_offset)
  • Relative humidity scaled, by total column amount from MWR(rh)
  • altitude above sea levelaltunits(alt)

Subject:
NSA/SONDE/C1 - Test sounding using RS80H
DataStreams:nsasondewnpnC1.b1
Description:
This is a test sounding done using an old RS80H radiosonde rather than the production RS90 
version.  Although the sonde functioned normally, the RH data may be subject to a dry 
bias caused by the age of the sensor and possible contamination.

  • Relative humidity scaled, by total column amount from MWR(rh)
  • Surface dew point temperature(dp)
