ENA/SONDE/C1 - File contains data during balloon descent
DataStreams:enasondewnpnC1.b1
Description:
This sonde flight did not terminate in the normal fashion after balloon burst.  I 
continued to collect data during the descent back to the ground.  Data quality is not affected, 
length of file is longer than expected.
Measurements:enasondewnpnC1.b1:
  • East longitude(lon)
  • wstat
  • Altitude above mean sea level(alt)
  • Pressure, atmospheric, constant value of model level, RUC model output(pres)
  • asc
  • time
  • Wind speed, W-to-E component, at altitude(u_wind)
  • Humidity, relative, on hybrid-b grid, derived from RUC model(rh)
  • base_time
  • Wind direction, at altitude(deg)
  • Wind speed, S-to-N component, at altitude, derived from ETA model(v_wind)
  • Dry Bulb Temperature(tdry)
  • Temperature, dewpoint, at altitude(dp)
  • Wind speed, surface, 1-min avg(wspd)
  • North latitude(lat)
  • time_offset

The surface RH value was entered incorrectly by the observer. This error affects the first 
few observations during the flight.

ENA/SONDE/C1 - Reprocessed and Corrected: Incorrect station surface value
DataStreams:enasondewnpnC1.b1
Description:
DATA REPROCESSED and CORRECTED: 

The surface altitude was mistakenly set to 106 meters, while the correct value is 30.5 
meters. This value has been corrected in the raw data. This change invalidates all altitude 
data in each sonde launch during this time period.

Station surface value was changed mistakenly. This change invalidates all altitude data in 
each sonde launch during the time period stated.

For unknown reasons, the longitude set in the BBSS DigiCORA was reported incorrectly as 
28.03, when the correct value is actually -28.03.

ENA/SONDE/C1 - Reprocessed and Corrected: Surface wind direction from MET incorrect by 180 
deg
DataStreams:enasondewnpnC1.b1
Description:
DATA REPROCESSED and CORRECTED: 

The surface wind direction was incorrect by 180 degrees for three sonde launches during 
this time period when the MET instrument had been moved. Raw data for these launches have 
been corrected. 

ORIGINAL DQR CATEGORY: Red( Incorrect)

REPROCESSED and CORRECTED DATA ARCHIVED:2016-03-31

REPROCESS IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: RID 1433

---------------------------------------------------
--- ORIGINAL DQR DESCRIPTION ---
---------------------------------------------------

Surface values for sonde are taken from colocated MET.  Wind direction was incorrect by 
180 deg after the wind bird was moved so that the MAWS ultrasonic could be installed.  
Three sonde launches took place with incorrect wind direction before error was corrected by 
adjusting MET wind bird to correct direction.
Measurements:enasondewnpnC1.b1:
  • Wind speed, S-to-N component, at altitude, derived from ETA model(v_wind)
  • Wind speed, W-to-E component, at altitude(u_wind)
  • Wind direction, at altitude(deg)

ENA/C1 - Reprocess: Slightly incorrect location fields
DataStreams:enasondewnpnC1.b1
Description:
Some of the instruments are being processed with the previous "GRW-Azores" lat/lon/alt 
instead of the new "ENA-Azores" lat/lon/alt. The differences are minor, but will be 
corrected. The respective GRW and ENA lat, lon, and alt values are as follows:
 
GRW  lat = 39.0911 ;
ENA lat = 39.0916 ;
GRW  lon = -28.0297 ;
ENA  lon = -28.0257 ;
GRW  alt = 26 ;
ENA  alt = 30.48 ;
Measurements:enasondewnpnC1.b1:
