Yielded a value at or warmer than the temperature (TA) at high level (23,000ft). After a few re-balance attempts, it started to yield a value lower than the temperature, but not low enough, base on weather balloon data in the area. After descending to 5000ft, it did not respond to the warmer, wetter atmosphere very well and read too low down at low level. Had to default a value in during while in the storm. Overall not performing well. SFMR performed well at 5,000ft and compared well with the max wind sonde surface wind rmh Penetrations Logged: 0 ARWO: Harter Penetrations Verified: Verifier:____________________________________ Penetrations Posted: Awards:____________________________________
