Subject:
SGP/SONDE - Wrong cal tape
DataStreams:sgpsondewrpnC1.a0, sgpsondewndcalcC1.c1, sgpsondewrpnC1.00, sgpsondewrpnC1.a1
Description:
There is something wrong with this sounding, its not clear exactly
what happened, however.  The first values reported by the radiosonde
are much different from those entered by the operator.  My impression
is that this is a calibration tape mixup.  The raw data file shows
that the sounding software was initialized twice for this sounding,
the first time showing sonde 823360910, the second time showing
sonde 819351814.  There is no enties in the operations log that
describe a problem with a sonde before launch.
Suggestions: 
I think the file should be deleted.
