Subject:
TWP/SONDE/C1 - Bad RH
DataStreams:twpsondewnpnC1.b1, twpsondewnpnC1.a1
Description:
The RH sensor heating circuit failed on this radiosonde.  The RH-related values obtained 
between 0 and 10000 meters oscillate between near-zero and reasonable ambient values.  
Above 10000 the RH values are likely correct.
Suggestions: 
Reasonable values may be obtained by reducing the vertical resolution of the RH 

values.  By taking the maximum value over a time period that spans the heating cycle (say 5 
minutes), one might retrieve the ambient values.
