Sensor Boom Coating Modification

  • ​The back side of the sensor boom has changed to a shiny silver like the front side of the sensor boom
  • The change improved manufacturability: boom is easier to handle in manufacturing processes resulting in better yield and more equal quality
  • No effect on temperature measurement as the surrounding of temperature sensor have not changed at all
  • The effect on humidity is positive – if any. In test flights the difference was with-in reproducibility limits
  • Modification entered production in mid 2008. If needed, coating method can be identified with help of radiosonde serial number
