Lost first sonde A4310176 to broken temperature sensor.
There seemed to be some interfering signals around our usual frequencies so
we tuned to the sonde to 400.7 (still within the MAPR site allocation).
Good flight.

One bad humidity sensor for first attempt: A4040677
Then switched to a Leeds sonde. No problems after that.
- 188: SOUNDING, Site MAPR Ind town grav pit, Sun 16-Apr-2006 18:47:33 GMT, Two bad sondes RH
The last sounding (17Z) used three radiosonde before a good one was found.
The first 2 sondes both had bad relative humidty sensors and were not launched.
The bad sensors became apparent during ground testing.
The other sensors on the sonde appeared to be working well.
The serial numbers were A4120410 and A4040378 and were next to each
other in the sonde box.
The third (sucessful) sonde was taken from the Leeds batch and launched at 1715.

Foehn wall over the entire length of the Sierra range. A continuous line of stratus is visble to the west about half-way up the Sierra's east slope extending north-south parallel to the crest. This appears to be produced by warming of the slope by the sun and consequent upslope flow. The continuous line is about 5 miles in length. A 'waterfall cloud' is spilling ovr into the Owens Valley across the Inyo-White crest through the lowest pass (approx. 5 mi wide) centered on the Winnedumah Paiute Monument. This indicates an eastery flow of moist air is entering the Owens Valley through the pass. There must be a lower cloud deck on the eastern side of the Inyos.The sky overhead is thin broken cirrus clouds with a base at about 15000 ft. The sky to the north has just a few cirrus while there is much cirrus building to the S.

Battery problems: battery was charged for 10 minutes, and the sonde worked
fine in the ground unit, but the sonde did not transmit when the
battery was plugged in. I checked the battery voltage, and at first I could
not read any voltage, then eventually I saw around 10 V. Plugging the
battery back into the sonde, the sonde still did not transmit. I tried
bending the contacts in the sonde to make better contact in the battery
plug, but no difference. After many attempts to plug in the battery, the
sonde finally started transmitting.
A similar incident happened on the previous sonde, but it did not take as
long to get it working so it did not seem noteworthy. This is the second
sonde for which the battery plug contacts were problematic, assuming the
problem was caused by a poor contact.

Please note that IOP7 soundings were incorrectly labelled IOP6.
Also, there is was an altitude offset in the pressure altitude
in the realtime plot window, for some reason the station
elevation was not added to the pressure altitudes.

For some reason while Juerg was putting the windows in forground and background the ISS workstation suddenly rebooted... Everything seems to be coming in fine now, but the original sounding log started by Gary and Serena is lost...
Otherwise, the sonde flight itself was fine, if a few minutes late.
- 17: SOUNDING, Site MAPR Ind town grav pit, Thu 02-Mar-2006 10:05:59 GMT, Samples missing from D-file for previous launch
Upon further review, the D-file for the previous sounding (IOP 1 08z) has a gap from the surface to about 650mb. The data all looked good during the launch, but the final D-file is missing all samples from 878mb at the surface to 637mb, at which point the data resume normally. The corresponding T-file appears to contain those missing samples. Copies of the data have been uploaded to EOL:
/net/ftp/pub/archive/iss/t-rex/iss-mapr/GAUSdata/"IOP 1"
I will email Dean to ask him to take a look. This may be related to the number of restarts we had to do before we could get GAUS to allow the surface measurements to be entered manually. See the log entry for the 8z sounding for details.

COMMENTS (data quality, unusual meteorolical features, launch problems, etc.)
--------
Discovered a bug in the sounding software, v2.3.1: the surface data were being UDP broadcast, and the GAUS program was receiving but still showing bad values in the comparison step. The comparison step is the window where the surface values are subtracted from the sonde values. Pressing continue at that point proceeds directly to the message about all lauch requirements met, whereas in the previous soundings you were given a chance to enter the surface measurements manually. I killed the broadcast on the data manager and restarted the channel one sonde a few times, but not until I completely exited and restarted GAUS could we get into the manual surface entry screen.
Otherwise, the sonde flight itself was fine, if a few minutes late.
