Subject: | SGP/SONDE/C1 - Suspect RH profile from 150-350 m above ground level |
DataStreams: | sgpsondewnpnC1.b1 |
Description: | Several radiosondes were noticed to have a very stark dry layer between 150 m and 350 m, where the RH dropped from approximately 60-80% (which I would take as close to the ambient conditions) to less than 2%. The character of these dropouts look like instrument issues, as it only a handful of radiosondes that appear to be affected. The quicklook images from the Raman lidar does not show any very dry layers, thus supporting the hypothesis that the RH measurements from these radiosondes (at least in this small ~200 m level) are in error. I should note that the temperature profiles look normal. |
Suggestions: | I believe that these RH profiles in this altitude region are bad, and the data in this portion of the profile should not be used; however, the rest of the profile seems reasonable. I would recommend that users edit these profiles to remove this small (approximately 200 m) section of the profile before their analysis. |
