Subject:
SGP/SONDE/C1 - Surface pressure incorrect
DataStreams:sgpsondewnpnC1.b1
Description:
I think the operator inadvdertently entered an incorrect surface pressure value.  The 
value entered is 988.8 hPa but the value shown in the raw data file at launch is 968.8.  As a 
result, the absolute altitudes in this sounding will be slightly incorrect as will be 
the ascent rate during the first 30 seconds of flight.
Suggestions: 
Recalculate altitudes from corrected pressure at surface.
