Subject:
SGP/Sonde/C1 - Bad RH in sounding
DataStreams:sgpsondewnpnC1.b1, sgpsondewnpnC1.a1
Description:
The RH sensor heating circuit was out of synch from about 400 sec after launch until the 
circuit was turned off whent he sounding temperature reached approximately 233 degK (-40 
degC) about 1500 sec after launch.  During this time period the reported RH oscillates 
between reasonable values and near-zero values.
Suggestions: 
Either ignore this part of the sounding or edit the data to use only the maximum RH 

values reported in every 10 minute period during that portion of the sounding.  The 
probably correct values might be recovered from the raw data files, but this would be a lot of 
work.
