Subject:
SGP/SONDE/C1 - Surface pressure incorrect
DataStreams:sgpsondewnpnC1.b1
Description:
I think the operator inadvdertently typed an 89 instead of a 78 when entering the surface 
pressure value.  The value entered is 989.9 hPa but the value shown in the raw data file 
at launch is 978.9.  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.
