| Subject: | SGP/SONDE/C1 - Incorrect absolute pressure |
| DataStreams: | sgpsondewrpnC1.a0, sgpsondewndcalcC1.c1, sgpsondewrpnC1.00, sgpsondewrpnC1.a1 |
| Description: | The surface pressure (983.5 hPa) reported by this radiosonde (sn 94315713) is substantially higher than that reported by the THWAPS (~977) or by the sondes used in the previous and following soundings (976.6, 977.3). This may be a calibration problem or a mechanic problem on launch. The pressure values reported in the remainder of the sounding are consistent with the reported surface pressure, so the altitudes should be correct. The absolute pressure values may be high by about 5 hPa. |
