Donna, I'm looking in to your question regarding the radiosonde data below. I have verified that we are now receiving 94693 and 94907. I have not seen 94865. As for 94693 and 94907, these stations are PPAA, PPBB, PPCC and PPDD groups only. The TTAA and TTBB groups are NIL. So, there are no temperatures, Only winds. I notice that I see 6 hourly data. Are these just theodolite stations? In gempak, SNLIST, I am able to print the data using mrgdat=n. I can't use mrgdat=y without having the TTAA group.
