- 51: SOUNDING, Site MISS, Mon 15-Feb-2010 09:57:46 GMT, Lockup issues
Had a couple of lockup issuses on 0Z and 2Z soundings:
0Z sounding (launched about 23:28UT, serial num D2844510) had a GAUS software lockup; data okay but no web plot yet. Will be recoverable on post-processing.
2Z sounding, had trouble getting GPS lock: tried serial nums D2845047 and D2845031 but both didn't lock after at least 5 minutes on stand and software restarts so weren't launched at this time. Finally E4430434 did lock after 10 minutes on stand, so was launched. It was snowing so weather may have been a factor.
Used D2845047 and D2845031 successfully on later soundings (both got GPS lock after just a minute or two).

Soundings conducted for IOP 08 from the NE corner of Comfort inn parking lot in Walcott, IA. 3 hourly soundings started at 06Z tuesday (midnight local) and continued for 24 hours, terminatating after the 06Z sounding on Wednesday.
The original plan was to continue until 12Z Wednesday.
The first sounding on IOP 08 failed to close correctly, and consequently doesn't have a proper suffix and launch detect. all other soundings are normal.

Soundings being launch every three hours from 2330UT (Nov 15).
WXT approx 10m from launch area and is about 3.5m above ground.
Using 100g balloons with 25 cu.ft. Helium.
Nov 15 2340 UT sonde - first package had no GPS on ground so not launched, second package ok.
Nov 16 5:34UT sonde got some interference around 250 mb.
Nov 16 1430UT sonde - temperature reading about 2C below WXT; also showing sub-zero temps just above gnd but rain at surface.
Nov 16 1735 2036 & 2325 UT soundings used 200g balloons to get rise rate up during daytime to aviod solar heating issues.
Nov 17 0245 UT - lost first balloon - sonde okay, successful launch on second balloon with same sonde package.
