Subject:
SGP/SONDE/C1 - Bad T/RH and surface P.
DataStreams:sgpsonderawC1.00, sgpsondewnpnC1.b1, sgpsondeC1.00
Description:
Apparently multiple failures.  The radiosonde temperature sensor broke on launch causing 
an approximate 35 degC negative offset and as a result, the RH is incorrect.  Furthermore, 
it appears that the pressure sensor was off by approximately 4 hPa, though this would 
not affect the altitude calculation, the absolute pressure is wrong.
Suggestions: 
Do not use Temperature and Relative Humidity data. Correct pressure data before using.
