The NOAA National Weather Service MicroART upper air system at Medford,
Oregon (WMO# 72597), will be decommissioned on or about March 6, 2009,
and installation of the new Radiosonde Replacement System (RRS) will
begin. No upper air observations will be provided from this office
while RRS is being installed.
Beginning March 16, 2009, or shortly thereafter, upper air observations
will be issued using the RRS and GPS Mark IIA Sippican radiosondes.
