Notes:

There were two time/data gaps: 161931Z - 161950Z and 171552Z - 171610Z.

The first time/data gap generated erroneous vertical wind speeds.

The radar altitude 159 (RA159) was turned off from 200846Z - 202405Z. The erroneous values generated from this action were replaced with radar altitude 232 (RA232) values.

Dewpoint sensor #2 (DW2) was fixed during the following time periods: 1821Z - 1823Z. Also DW2 values were replaced with DW1 values during the following time frames:

143016Z - 143201Z, 145025Z - 145108Z, 152755Z - 1152942Z, 153923Z - 153937Z, 171247Z - 171344Z, 173848Z - 173915Z, 175222Z - 175314Z, 180526Z - 180647Z, 181057Z - 181531Z, 183524Z - 183605Z, 185623Z - 185638Z, 185938Z - 190110Z, 190712Z - 191015Z, 192120Z - 192453Z, 193625Z - 193714Z, 195104Z - 195147Z, 195939Z - 200010Z, 200720Z - 200856Z and 201343Z - 201452Z.

The King liquid water probe and the CO2 side radiometer were inoperative for the entire mission.

All other instruments worked optimally during the flight.

The aircraft INE positions were renavigated with respect to GPS.

SPECIAL NOTE!!!	Locations 80, 81 and 82 of record five on the standard tape contain

vertical ground, vertical air and vertical speeds, respectively, computed

using Dave Jorgensen's vertical wind algorithm. It is recommended that these values be used for vertical wind analysis.
