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.
Measurements:nsasondewnpnC1.b1:
  • Relative humidity inside the instrument enclosure(rh)
  • Surface dew point temperature(dp)

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)
  • Surface dew point temperature(dp)
