Re: Dropsondes

The thing is, all of that data is quality controlled before it goes into the models. If there was a bad sonde, it would be removed before even getting into the models. That may cause a lack of data, but they launched so many of those in such a small area that it shouldn't make that much of a difference. I'm not saying it isn't possible, but it reeks of irresponsibility (on all parts) if so.
