REMARKS:
12 RECCOs, 0 drops, 4 VDMs, 63 HDBs (16 total obs)
This was a 12/1130Z & 1730Z fix mission into Tropical Storm Karl. The center was estimated to be at 21.3N 94.6W. We flew at FL025 and entered from the NE for the first alpha pattern and the SW for the second pattern. Overall it was a bit of a  messy storm as it was being impacted by southwesterly shear. We also had to climb to FL050 on the last outbound leg due to weather. The max surface winds from the SFMR was 52kts, 58kts at flight level, and the lowest pressure was 1002mb (NE was the strongest quadrant). As far as issues, we had a GPS FOM error of 5 and switched from C to F at 1345Z. Then, switched back to System C at 1610Z due to another GPS FOM error. Additionally, the hygrometer went completely blank and got stuck on 32.2 at 1430Z. At 1526Z, the Td values came back but the screen still showed strange symbols all over it. At 1830Z, the ARWO computer crashed (blue screen of death).
