Another Comment on the Strange Flagstaff Sounding

Darren M writes:

I was in charge of the morning sounding from August 22, 2009. During the run the RRS antenna locked-up which happens a few times each year. In order to get the antenna to track again it needs to be reset. It is my understanding that during the reset process no data is collected. I know for a fact that data was missing between 665 mb and 615 mb in the raw RRS data. I don't know how this might impact the RAP plotting routine. On AWIPS the sounding plot looked much less "hygristorally challenged" than usual. Hope this helps.
