Dear colleagues,
BJ stationary observations has been intensified as 8 times/day
rawinsonde launch from 00 UT (07 WIB) today until just before
leaving from the stationary point at 12 UT (19 WIB) tomorrow.
Clouds have increased again, and rawinsonde observations show
increase of moisture again. Wind is W about 5 m/s, and wave
is about 1 m.
Until now only one rawinsonde sensor/transmitter was bad.
Regards,
MDY
