Description:
For launches starting on 8/25/12 through 9/30, the sonde data from NSA C1 began arriving 
in delayed batches.  There are currently no sonde files available from 10/01-10/10, with 
processing resuming for sonde launches on 10/11.  I do not know if the files from 
10/01-10/10 have been delayed, or if files from 10/11-onward will be processed on a typical daily 
schedule.  

As a result of the delayed sonde data from 8/25/12-09/30/12, many of the MWRRET files from 
8/26/12-9/30/12 did not use sonde data as an input before processing.  The lack of sonde 
data results in all physical retrieval variables reporting as -9999.  The dates 
processed without any sonde data over this period include:

8/26-8/28, 8/31-9/06, 9/18-9/30

These MWRRET files will need to be reprocessed now that the sonde files are available.  In 
addition, the MWRRET files from 10/01/12-10/10/12 did not use sonde data.  However, as I 
stated above I do not know if these sonde files will be available at a later date.  If 
these sonde files become available the MWRRET files from 10/01-10/10 will need to be 
reprocessed as well.
