REMARKS:
Total of 4 fixes with 18 good drops disseminated and 7 bad sondes (25 total), 10 RECCOs, and 4 VDMs.

Issues:
- Hygrometer came in and out of Servolock during the mission in the storm environment, but was usable most of the time.
- Had numerous bad sondes in a row that didn't connect or didn't send GPS data back to the plane. Load is going to engage with Met Shop about that and some new items in ASPEN.
