Subject:
Bad surface pressure sounding
DataStreams:sgpsondewrpnC1.a0, sgpsondewrpnC1.a1
Description:
The surface pressure for this sounding was entered by the operator as 1016.1hPa. The first 
pressure value reported by the sonde is 988.3 hPa. The surface pressure at 11:29 was 
987.6 and at 17:32 was 988.3.  It appears that the operator entered the sea-level pressure 
rather than the station pressure.

Note that this will affect the altitude calculation throughout the sounding.
