Subject:
NSA/SONDE/C1 - Incorrect surface altitude
DataStreams:nsasondewnpnC1.b1, nsasondeC1.00
Description:
The value of the station altitude (relative to mean sea level) is
incorrect in all NSA radiosonde files prior to 2/14/2004.  The correct
value is 8 m.  The incorrect value can be different.  Prior to 4/24/2002
(in platform nsaisssonde...) it was given as 12 m.  From 4/24/2002 to
2/13/2004 (in platform nsasondewnpn...) it is almost always given as
27 m (sometimes [rarely] 17 m).

Description:
Latitude incorrect:  When the new MRP111 card was installed on 08/08/2011, the DigiCORA 
software (v3.61.1) was also reloaded.  The latitude was incorrectly entered as +0.52.  It 
should have been entered as -0.52.  This mistake was corrected on 12/10/2011 when a 
compromised BBSS computer was replaced and the software reloaded.
