TWP/C2/SMET - Pressure sensitivity to rain
DataStreams:twpsmet60sC2.a1, twpsmet60sC2.b1
Description:
The pressure behaves anomalously during rain events - even very mild
ones.  Normally, the pressure undergoes a smooth semi-diurnal
oscillation with little higher frequency variability.  However, during
and shortly after rain events, the pressure signal exhibits abrupt
changes - this sort of behavior has occasionally been observed at
Manus but not with the regularity seen here.  Examples of this
behaviour occur on (date in the form YYYYMMDD):
