A Raob Second Release Decisions by Region report is issued monthly for each calendar month and becomes available as possible after each
month has ended.
According to the radiosonde second release policy established on 11 December 1996, raob station personnel are required to call the NCEP
Senior Duty Meteorologist (SDM) to coordinate the need for a second release in the event that the first is unsuccessful; that is, when the flight
fails to provide data to at least 400 mb. As a result, station personnel, which usually involves a lead forecaster (LF), and the SDM will agree on
a decision of either yes or no.
Revision of said policy, effective October 1, 1999, permits the station LF to authorize a second release without first consulting the SDM if the LF
believes the local forecast/warning situation warrants a second release. Therefore, the statistics contained in this report include only those
decisions in which the SDM was involved.
Each report is divided into the six NWS regions. For each region, it lists all of the NWS raob stations in ascending WMO# identifier order with
the number of yes and no decisions as well as the total for each during the specified month. Each report also provides the regional total number
of yes or no deicions for the month as well as the a regional percentage of yes decisions (approval rate). Finally, each report provides a recap
of yes and no decisions and approval rate for all regions combined.
Yearly, a second release decisions report for the most recently completed calendar year will be produced and appear under "Yearly" in the menu
available at the top of this page.
