The accuracy of studies derived from environmental observations are, to a large extent, dependent on correct documentation describing instruments and sensors, exposures, location, height above the ground, orographic features surrounding the station, and other pertinent remarks regarding sensor performance. Instructions for completing the form and for mailing are found on the form.Along with paper copies of upper air soundings, digital sounding data on floppy diskettes are to be submitted to FLENUMMETOC DET Asheville as well.
