The NOAA National Weather Service MicroART upper air system at King
Salmon, Alaska (WMO# 70326), will be decommissioned on or about July
10, 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 July 20, 2009, or shortly thereafter, upper air observations
will be issued using the RRS and GPS Mark IIA Sippican radiosondes.
