Subject:
Bad surface pressure sounding
DataStreams:sgpsondewrpnC1.a0, sgpsondewrpnC1.a1
Description:
The surface pressure for this sounding was entered by the operator as 999.2 hPa. The first 
pressure value reported by the sonde is 978.2 hPa. The surface pressure at 17:25 was 
980.1 and at 05:30 (5/30) was 981.8.  It appears that the operator entered the sea-level 
pressure rather than the station pressure.

Note that this will affect the altitude calculation throughout the sounding.
