Recommendations for Rig Setup
The optimum ventilation of the radiosondes in comparison rig
is eventual for gaining the high quality comparison data
For the optimum ventilation, ensure that the ascent rate of
the rig setup is at least 5 m/s in average and utilize the
nozzle lift recommendation as given in slide 4, but remember
also to adjust according to local weather conditions
For the optimum ventilation, allow also movement of the
radiosonde when attached to the rod, do not tape directly to
the rod but use thin twine to hang radiosondes
To avoid the unwanted effects caused by the rod, use at least
80 cm long twines to hang the radiosondes to the rod
