Subject:
TWP/Sonde/C1 - Bad RH Values
DataStreams:twpsondewnpnC1.b1, twpsondewnpnC1.a1
Description:
The RH values from the surface to approximately 11.5 km oscillate between reasonable 
values and zero.  This is apparently caused by a failure in the RH sensor heating process.  
Although the oscillation stops when the heating stops (at temperatures below ~ -45degC) I 
think the values must be viewed as suspect.
Suggestions: 
Recovery from the raw data is conceivalbe, but the feasibility of recovery can't be 

assessed without closer examination of the binary files
