Subject:
SGP/SONDE/B1 - Bad sounding data (incorrect calibration?)
DataStreams:sgpsondewnpnB1.a0, sgpsondewnpnB1.a1, sgpsondewnpnB1.00
Description:
I'm not sure what happened here but the temperature data for this sounding
clearly are wrong.  Along with the missing humidity data and the problems
the operator reported with his previous sounding it looks as if all the data
in this file are bad.  It may be that the sensor was damaged at launch (it
was very windy).
Suggestions: 
I'd purge the sounding from the system and consider it missing.
