Attachment 1 - Operating and Non-Operating Conditions.pdf

Attachment 1 is a detailed specifications table outlining operating and non-operating environmental conditions for an Automatic Radiosonde Launching/Observing System (AROS). The document specifies technical parameters across multiple environmental factors, including air pressure (1070 hPa to 700 hPa for operating conditions), air temperature (-55°C to 50°C), relative humidity (0% to 100%), surface wind speed (≤50 knots), and precipitation limits (< 50 mm per hour). The table also indicates resistance requirements for various conditions such as ultraviolet/infrared radiation, corrosion in coastal locations, lightning, and salt/marine environments. The withstanding conditions column provides slightly expanded parameters, such as air temperature ranging to 60°C and surface wind speeds up to 112 knots, suggesting the system must endure more extreme environmental conditions beyond standard operating parameters.
