Subject: | SGP/SONDE/B4 - Possible interference in B4 sounding 20021110.1729 |
DataStreams: | sgpsondewnpnB4.b1, sgpsondewnpnB4.a1, sgpsondeB4.00 |
Description: | There is a strange inversion aloft in the subject sounding. The temperature goes from -56.3 degC to -51.5 degC in less than two minutes (approximately .72 km). This is somewhat below the estimated tropopause height. I suspect this may be an interference problem, but note that both the recorded pressure and RH values are reasonably continuous. More accurate assessment would require analysis of the absolutely raw binary data; something that would require effort beyond the limits of my IM funding. |
Suggestions: | Caveat emptor. |
