Felix Dropsondes

Not sure the best spot for this post, so I'm sticking it in the Storm Forum so hopefully people will see it.

I've coded up a Dropsonde decoder and it needs testing. Anyone that wants to plug in dropsondes on Felix from http://twister.sbs.ohio-state.edu/text/tropical/atlantic/UZNT13.KNHC have fun.

Location: http://aewww.firstones.com/dropsonde_decoder.php5

Please let me know via PM if you have any difficulties with the app or think something important is missing from the decoder. I decode almost everything, but I don't actually display everything in the final output. I've tested it with a half dozen dropsondes from past storms, but there might always be something I forgot .

Once it's fully tested, I'll email it to MikeC to stick on this site.

I based my development of it mostly on these sources:
- http://www.storm2k.org/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?f=29&p=1610668
- http://www.wunderground.com/about/reconreport.asp?MR=1

Enjoy!

Edit: I know the current dropsonde works - I'm mostly interested in future ones

(Post moved to a more appropriate Forum.)
