NOAA P-3 N42RF

OCEAN WINDS TEST FLIGHT

Flight ID: 060828H

Sensor or system	Number or Name

INE	2

Accelerometer	2

Temperature Probe	1

Dew Point Probe	1 (General Eastern)

Altitude (for vertical wind)	Radar Altimeter 159

Static Pressure	Rosemount Fuselage

Dynamic Pressure	Rosemount Fuselage 1281

Time Source	Micro 99

Constants File	CO2062.con

Notes:

There were no time/data gaps during this flight.

The King liquid water sensor and the Johnson Williams liquid water sensors were both inoperative throughout the flight.

Frequent spikes in the Dynamic Slip Pressure from the fuselage and the radome occurred during roll maneuvers throughout much of the flight. To minimize some of these spikes, data from the radome sensor was substituted into the fuselage sensor from 153001Z- 170200Z.

Radar Altimeter 232 was inoperative from takeoff to 152400Z.

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.
