REMARKS:
switched to system F based on abnormally low readings on system C; 
compared readings to charts and sonde.
2 sonde drops prior to descending to 1500ft.  fixed storm on 3rd pass 
and sent prelim vdm to CARCAH;
they requested that the final vdm not be sent as it was not needed by 
the forecasters.  Entered from NW on initial pass; first two passes
revealed a center too loose and ragged to fix.
radar presentation was ok; will include radar files for this mission.
sonde 1 400 Hz: 7623m, sws 17kts.  aircraft 400 Hz: 7594m, sfmr sws 
17kts.

storm upgraded from TD 5 to TS ERNESTO during this mission.
