Subject:
NSA/SONDE/C1 - Bad temperature
DataStreams:nsasondewnpnC1.b1
Description:
Because of strong winds, the radiosonde hit the ground after launch and the temperature 
sensor broke.  The RH and pressure data also should be considered suspect.
Measurements:nsasondewnpnC1.b1:
  • Mean Wind Speed(wspd)
  • Wind Direction(deg)
  • Ascent Rate(asc)
  • Dry bulb temperature(tdry)
  • V-component(v_wind)
  • base time(base_time)
  • Retrieved pressure profile(pres)
  • lat(lat)
  • U-component(u_wind)
  • lon(lon)
  • Surface dew point temperature(dp)
  • Wind Status(wstat)
  • Time offset of tweaks from base_time(time_offset)
  • Relative humidity inside the instrument enclosure(rh)
  • Dummy altitude for Zeb(alt)

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.
Measurements:nsasondewnpnC1.b1:
  • Relative humidity inside the instrument enclosure(rh)
  • Dry bulb temperature(tdry)
  • Dummy altitude for Zeb(alt)
  • Retrieved pressure profile(pres)
