-------- Original Message --------
The NOAA National Weather Service MicroART upper air system at San Juan
Puerto Rice (WMO# 78526), will be decommissioned today 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 1, 2010, or shortly thereafter, upper air observations
will be issued using the RRS and GPS Mark IIA Sippican radiosondes.
Please update your databases.
