REMARKS:
VDM: 3
(note after the date changed to the next month while in storm 
environment, when pulling up the vdm after 
date and zulu date changed, could not see anything past in the 10sec 
data into Oct 1 0000Z)
Drops: 11
(4 bad not sent to, 1 was sent through message for the data)
1 terminated early and 1 detected fastfall, but still sent to CARCAH 
because data looked good and they wanted the data. 
And one had weird up and down data with updrafts and downdrafts. 
Reccos: 8

Used system F, all were in agreement. 

SFMR and hygrometer worked fine. 
Used 28 C for SST
Had many issues with eyewall drops, not detecting surface winds. 
One issue sending one drop to arwo pallet. 
SATCOM was terrible between NHC and Teal ops.  Had to reset couple 
times, kept just getting stuck, perhaps
keys changover in middle of mission? 

UPGRADED TO CAT 5 for last fix.
