project sonde
7 sats before launch
some back at about 790 but not solid until 670. A lot of time with just 3 sats
so far nothing is consitent enough to make a call on. . Even the sondes sent out do lose all lock at release.Once they have been up they seem to aquire the same number of sats.

This launch was one of the sondes Ned sent. Note: Rack was recabled to read paper tape.
At loaunch 2.2ms winds was able to use trailer as wind block so a smooth launch
6 sats before launch lost at launch. Back at about 856 but until approx 700mb in and out no solid lock.

Good gps on sonde prior to launch. Lost at launch not in solidly again til approx 600 mb. Relatively smooth launch surface wind 5 to 6 ms. This is the longest recovery time I have seen during project. Once above 600 pretty much a solid 6-8 sats.Ballon burst at 147mb

lost gps at 325mb lost ptu shortly after this .just after launch saw battery come out of package. It stayed connected but being out of the package may have started to freeze and lose power once it got to higher altitude.

On this flight also losing signal early 2 db at 400 mb this time I'm pretty certain that sonde is being taken behind the hills before it is high enough. An ascent rate has been around 1.5 ms for several minutes even put 37 cubic feet in it this time but wind speeds are around 50ms. 10 second data locked up at 494 mb raw data coming in is up to 360mb

lost first launch negative ascent rates
Attempted 2 sondes from a different box of 10 but from same batch both gave bad ptu eg one gave -278 c and the other 226 have to check the whole box.
this sounding also went through a period of slow ascent and no winds to about 700mb .Suspect very strong winds bouncing sonde around. Winds still intermitant.

At approx 45 min into flight mwg down to 8 sats sonde also on 7 did have 8
Signal on rx went to 0 at approx 200 mb sonde 84km out ascent rate 3 m/s still tracking.mwg down to 6 sats
At about 155mb started to get lots of noise on rx sonde 98km. Q numbers really jumped.

Had 5 students help with launch and tour site. Good GPS at release (5 sats)
but lost lock again. Was smooth release. It takes so long to recover that
I wonder if there is some local effect causing problems.

Ground receiver had 10 GPS satellites before launch and for start of
ascent. Sonde lost lock on launch, eventually regained 4 sondes, but
then ground receiver has 0 sondes for the rest of the ascent. So:
NO WINDS THIS FLIGHT. Mike suggests rebooting PC and cycling power on
rack before each launch.

COORDINATED LAUNCH WITH NWS 00Z SONDE NORTH OF RENO. They released 30 seconds
after we released.

Prep and launch done by four students. John Hallett and John Lewis also
present.

GLASS program could not find coefficients on disk so I had to enter them
by hand. (WHY?)

Lost GPS on release - was a a very rough release. Recovered after several
minutes. Maybe slow recovery because of high wind speeds.
