Platform/Measurement: sgpsondewrpnb5/ (all)
What level data: (raw,a0,a1,b1,c1 etc): all
What location was the data collected at: SGP/BF5
Period of time in question
Begin Date 5/06/97 Time 18:14:30 (GMT)
End Date 5/06/97 Time 18:15:12 (GMT)

___ others
Discussion of Problem:
An apparent communication problem between the digi-CORA and the SDS led
to inclusion of one corrupt data scan (at 43 minutes, 30 seconds into
the sounding) and no data between valid scans at 43 min, 28 sec and
44 min, 16 sec. The corrupt data was interpreted by the ingest as
valid data and it is included in the netCDF file. Note, however, that
the QC flags for this scan are set correctly, indicating that the data
in the netCDF file violated the mentor QC criteria.
Other observations/measurements impacted by this problem:
Suggested Corrections of the Problem: (e.g. change calibration factor and
recompute, flag data with this comment, etc.)
Reprocess sounding at BF5 pending decision of PRB. |
