| Subject: | Bad surface pressure sounding |
| DataStreams: | sgpsondewrpnC1.a0, sgpsondewrpnC1.a1 |
| Description: | The surface pressure for this sounding was entered by the operator as 993.3 hPa. The first pressure value reported by the sonde is 964.0 hPa. The surface pressure at 08:30 was 964.7 and at 11:31 was 954.3. It appears that the operator entered the sea-level pressure rather than the station pressure. The SMOS pressure during the period is in the 960-950 range. Note that this will affect the altitude calculation throughout the sounding. |
