The NOAA National Weather Service MicroART upper air system at Annette,
Alaska (WMO# 70398), will be decommissioned October 26, 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 November 2, 2009, or shortly thereafter, upper air
observations will be issued using the RRS and GPS Mark IIA Sippican
radiosondes.
