We originally attempted to launch sonde with coefficient 408400808.  However, 
while on the aspirator, the GPS was not able to lock onto the sonde with zero 
satellites.  We prepared a new sonde with coefficient documented above and 
had a successful launch.  Signal appeared to be very weak as sonde approached 
100 mb.

We originally attempted to launch sonde with coefficients 408400801, but while 
on the aspirator we noticed that the humidity sensor was bad.  It read 100%, 
while the actual atmospheric conditions were at 72.4%.  We replaced the bad 
sonde with a new one with above documented coefficients.  No problems 
afterwards - successful launch, although after release the sonde moved straight 
overhead the RASS/profiler while resonating!  Signal appeared to be very weak 
as sonde approached 100 mb.

Attempted to enter coefficients by hand for a "4" sounde and suggested by recent e-mail.  Unfortunately, similiar results were produced by GLASS system were Press, Temp, and Moisture measurements were completely inaccurate.  At this point, it is plausible that the "4" soundes are simply faulty and not functional. 
Upon our next shift, we will try again...

Received warning stating "Warning this is RAW DATA" between abort and continue buttons when initial synchronization screen came up.  Receiving pressure reading of 1080mb, temperature readings of 80C, and RH readings of 100% on two consecutive sondes.  We will try a third but we have used the same battery and saved the first two sondes for later use once problem is corrected. We used sonde coeff. beginning with 408 and had 2 failures.  We are now attempting the 313 coeffs. to find a better result.  It worked, we have a signal.

Cumulus and cumulonimubus to the north and east from convection over the SMO.

POST TERMINATION

Termination Pressure mb	: 52.2 mb

Post-Termination Weather Description: 
 
Intensification of deep moist convection towards the NE with associated broadening cirrus deck.  An overshooting top was observed approx 90 minutes ago upon
arrival at site, indicative of cap break and release of instability.  Depending on magnitude and density of buoyant air and moisture amounts in upper level, 
localized precip maxes and broad stratiform rainfall should be expected in this
area towards the NE.
Moderate to strong SFC winds out of SW for nice gulf flow to feed any 
developing storms and potential systems overnight.

The launch went perfect, the balloon reached around 40 mb and popped, but for 
some reason the data in aspen only has pressures and altitude to around 300 mb. 
Very frustrating. We will email what we have, and contact roving crew later 
to see if there is a way to retrieve the data.

This is the rest of the sounding after the power failure: Due to lost power,
there is no data between 600 and 300 mb, but we tried to get some more data 
when there was power again above 300 mb.

Sounding was going well to around 600 mb when the power at the airport
suddenly went out completely. Roving team was contacted while system was on 
backup power, and we were told to terminate sounding to save the data that 
we already had for the launch before backup battery died.

--------

For this sounding, problems continue with the sounding system computer. 
This time, the Raw MET data is not streaming, nor is the position data, 
or ten second data. The humidity sgain started out higher than the 
surface data by about 10% We will try to track the sonde as long as possible,
and hope for 1.5 hours of wind data streaming, and we will hope that the 
information is in ASPEN after the termination. We cannot launch another sonde
because we are in a crunch for the number of sondes we have, and it is passed
45 minutes after synoptic time. We will confer with the next shift as to 
restarting the entire system when they arrive at 1000 Z.

Post-Termination: 1000 Z: No pressure, Temp, or RH data appeared in ASPEN,
after 1008 mb. there is only wind data. This launch did not work out well.

The reciever was not working well the entire flight. We don't know if it may have had the same problem as last night with an interfering signal or not, but the receiver showed 0 db the whole time. We made the decision to NOT re-launch, even with a little bit of in and out wind data, because the other data seemed fine, the sonde made the 500 mb requirement, and it seems from indications from brian and mike susedik that we may already be getting close to the possibility of running out of sondes before the project ends. The roving crew cannot be contacted to try to fix the problem, so we will see what we can do.

7/16 20:30 NOTES about GAOS / LNA Power
- Power LNA running off Campbell Power Supply since last night
	Monitored VDC of CR10 and it's stayed above 12.8, although
	have noted thermal issue/sag during daytime with higher degC.
	Also noticed rise and drop in CR10 vdc during switchover (noted below),
	of about .1VDC.  Will continue to keep LNA powered up and monitor
	it another night.
- Performance of Rcvr has apparently improved.
	Night shift got up to ~50mb reliably with good signal strength per
	db meter and audio for last 3 flights.
- Added Switch to DC power for LNA.
	Placed toggle sw. inside CR10 box so that the power to the LNA
	can be turned off if:
	1) VDC of CR10 becomes an issue.
	2) LNA overheats &| stresed. (NOTE: LNA temp. seems same as
	heat-sink plate to the touch at noon today)

101: SOUNDING, Site ISS4 (Los Mochis), Fri 16-Jul-2004 01:09:24 GMT, GAOS Rcvr LNA Power / Changed
7/16/04 1:00Z
Received signals have been a bit off at this site and db indicates
noisy and level has dropped out to 0 at upper altitudes.

LNA DC power from DC injector appears unable to adequately run LNA
VOC from injector: ~12.8
Vloaded with LNA : ~ 5.4...yuk.
Iloaded:           ~ 25mA

External DC Supply used: sounding 7/16 0Z
unsoldered 'dc injector' and tied on 3A rated DC supply:
VOC from supply: ~12.0
Vloaded with LNA: 12.0
Iloaded:         ~35mA
This worked per DB meter and when the sonde was lost the meter
was still reading well above 0.   At 180mB we briefly swapped
the LNA between the injector and DC supply;
reading w/supply: ~40db
reading w/inject: ~ 7db
and the supply seemed to produce more steady signal.
Note the sonde was lost at 60mB apparently due to interfering
signal which had clear modulation overlaying the sonde that
was still quite distinct in audio.

Tied onto Campbell +12 supply
Used cut ext. cord.   This means that the LNA will be powered
on 100% and there could be and issue with that.  Did solder
the connections.
VOC from CR10: 12.9
Vloaded w/LNA: 12.9
Iloaded:       ~35mA
Will run this way overnight and hopefully extablish whether this
will improve the overall recovery/alt.

good sounde, good launch

Noticed regular though very weak 'beeping' signal overlayed in audio
at very upper extent of flight which was to the SSE-SSW.  

This is thought to be interference from possibly a radio signal according to 
juan of the roving team.

Sounding began well.  Weak signal indicated on meter.  Appears that the
meter has problem.  Yaggi reading started at 0db, picked up a bit at 5km
at ~500mb and then went null again shortly after.  Omni reading was indicating
but very weak ~15db and it soon nulled as well.   Late in the flight we
tried swapping the 2 antennas at the LNA/switch box (~200mb) to see if
any difference: no.   Meanwhile the audio level was good and the flight
went ok to level as shown.

Sounding began well. Signal strength weak at times (as has become usual). At about 650 mb the sonde began to descend. Data continued during descent. Winds were light, with some shear. Amazingly, the balloon landed very close to the airport. We can see it, appears near the end of the runway. We may retrieve it if airport security allows. Will launch another.

This re-launch was caused by a crash of the sounding system computer, and we think that the data from the first launch was all lost. We do not have either the 
data or the tklog from the first launch, so this data will be sent out.

Data good, terminated 45 minutes past synoptic time

Noticed while copying data from the handwritten version to the tklog that the surface data for the two launches was exactly identical (45 minutes apart) bringing the accuracy of this data into question. Due to continuing problems with 
computers, a complete system reboot will follow this sounding.

Wind data good with re-launch.

Launch was terminated at 45 minutes after synoptic time

The string on the sonde did not release completely, causing a lot of swinging 
around of the sonde. The decision to launch a new sonde was made after no wind 
data to 500 mb. Final surface data unavailable due to temporary problems with 
data logger and tklog. This report was copied from handwritten version.

--------
this is a re-launch, earlier sonde info was not all saved in aspen.  signal at 0 for a long time, 10 second data for earlier launch seemed odd, for this launch, everything seemed normal except for the signal being low again, i am told this is 
normal though. Problems with tk-log prevented us from acquiring all the info for this log.

COMMENTS 

Loss of YAGI signal directly after launch as balloon remained overhead antennae, position then shifted towards the NW and YAGI signal returned.  10sec GLASS obs continue to malfunction. Otherwise, nice flight time.   






























35: SOUNDING, Site ISS4 (Los Mochis), Thu 08-Jul-2004 18:52:25 GMT, Aspen upgraded to V2.5.1
Aspen has been upgraded to v2.5.1, to fix a bug in the coding of pressure for the Part D section of the TEMP message.
34: SOUNDING, Site ISS4 (Los Mochis), Thu 08-Jul-2004 18:50:03 GMT, GLASS RF cable replaced
The RG-8 RF cable was found to have a faulty connector at the GLASS rack. We replaced it with a spare RG-58 table from the profiler spares, and the soundings are now making it up to 100mb and higher.

COMMENTS 

Good launch, went smoothly, signal was becoming faint around 300 mb, so with charlie and hal's help, a faulty cable between antenna and sounding system was 
replaced, which is the reason for lost data around 200 mb. Signal was regained, and data was received until about 50 mb.  

Note: The long RG-8 coax cable from the antenna tower was replaced with .the extra 100 foot RG-58 cable from the wind profiler which increased the signal level considerably.  Apparently the RG-8 has gotten lossy due to a bad connector(s) or loose connection?? 

The IR surface sensor (PYG) is still not working so Hal and Charlie will take it to KINO Bay tomorrow and check it against the PYG there.  The battery in the base is dead so will replace it with the extra battery that is at KINO to see if that makes a difference??  In talking with John Millitzer it is not clear whether our PYG's have been modified so that they don't need the battery?
