This is a test to see if we can receive a sonde transmitting from the gondola.
The idea to instrument the goldola next year. Note that we do not have GPS at
all (not important for test?).

Lost sonde while they were driving over to the ski area. Acquired again.

10-second data is "frozen". Maybe it thought there was a burst and so it gives
up. The raw data is still good.

Spotty signal at base (about 780 mb). Then good signal until (maybe) flat spot
in hill (751-747 mb). Then good to top, about 715 mb.
See data file C:\Glassdat\D200103032058.map for ascii listing.

This was a launch mainly for the National Geographic camera crew. Note
that surface met was not working. Also terminated early for another test.

Very well tracked by MAPR, to 2km in light winds. Glass PC clock is
8 seconds ahead of ISS clock

Could not get GPS lock from sonde. No winds.
Sonde has yellow paper coefficients tape, and package says RS80-15GH.
Is this a GPS sonde?

Good flight. Delayed 40 minutes because of problems reading tape. Had to run to
Walmart for compressed air. Ned, thanks for the advice.

Sounding mostly good. Lost lock once early. But during the flight the 10-second data was wrong. Altitude stuck at 2225m while raw data showed pressure decreasing normally. Also, in the RAW WIND data, U was eg. -30 when the winds were actually from the west. I suspect a sign error in the code.

Sounding requested by CSU's Bill Cotton and students who are visiting

Conditions were fine at the lab.

Good flight, good gps lock.  Sonde initially went straight up.  
Had to pull paper tape thru several times.

Tracked by MAPR, GLASS PC clock 65 seconds fast.
Did extra RASS.
