Subject: | NSA/SONDE/C1 - Increased precision for alt, dp, pres, rh, tdry |
DataStreams: | nsasondewnpnC1.b1 |
Description: | The output precision of the following variables was increased 20060929: alt changed from 1m to 0.1m dp changed from 0.1degC to 0.01degC pres changed from 0.1 hPa to 0.01 hPa RH changed from 1%RH to 0.01%RH tdry changed from .1degC to 0.01degC Note that the increase in precision does not necessarily imply an increase in accuracy. Users are cautioned to continue to use their best scientific judgement when using these or any other data. |

Subject: | NSA/METTWR/C1 - All data from 10m Level Missing |
DataStreams: | nsamettwr4hC1.b1 |
Description: | The winch that lowers the tower booms failed. Manual testing of the motor and winch allowed the booms to be lowered briefly and then raised back into position. A heavy freezing rain/icing event added extra weight to the booms. This extra weight was suspected as the cause as to why the 10m boom became disconnected. After a new motor was installed and all booms were lowered and re-raised the 10m level came back on line. |

Subject: | NSA/SONDE/C1 - Incorrect surface values of T and RH |
DataStreams: | nsasondewnpnC1.b1 |
Description: | The radiosonde was launched too quickly after being removed from the ground check set. As a result, the system did not equilibrate with the local ground conditions and the automatically entered surface values are incorrect. |

Subject: | NSA/METTWR/C1 - Missing CMH data |
DataStreams: | nsamettwr4hC1.b1 |
Description: | CMH data are missing. Corrosion in the serial data line connections caused a loss of communication with the CMH. |

Subject: | NSA/METTWR/C1 - 10m level loss of power |
DataStreams: | nsamettwr4hC1.b1 |
Description: | The 10 meter instrument level lost power so all variables from this level are missing. |

Subject: | NSA/METTWR/C1 - 2m T/RH probe aspirator fan failed |
DataStreams: | nsamettwr4hC1.b1 |
Description: | The aspirator fan for the 2m level T/RH probe failed. This caused higher than normal readings for temp and RH and artificially smoothed the data. |

Subject: | NSA/SONDE/C1 - RH sensor failure |
DataStreams: | nsasondewnpnC1.b1 |
Description: | It appears that one of the two RH sensors on this radiosonde was affected by ice after emerging from a low cold cloud. As a result the reported RH values oscillate by about 10 percent until the alternate heating cycle stops. I suspect the lower value is more close to correct, but can't be absolutely sure. |

Subject: | NSA/METTWR/C1 - Wind direction sensor frozen |
DataStreams: | nsamettwr4hC1.b1 |
Description: | After a power outage the 40m wind direction sensor was frozen. Data from this sensor was not representative of the true winds. |
