Subject:
SGP/SONDE/C1 - CF sounding 20020522:1130 bad temperature/RH
DataStreams:sgpsondewnpnC1.b1, sgpsondewnpnC1.a1
Description:
It appears that the sonde sensor boom was damaged upon launch.  The result
is that no RH data are reported and the reported temperature is something on
the order of 60 degC too low.
Suggestions: 
There is no fix.  Ignore the thermodynamic data.  The winds should be fine
as a function of pressure, but the height will be inaccurate because the 
pressure is being integrated with incorrect ambient temperature as 
opposed to virtual temperature.
Measurements:sgpsondewnpnC1.b1:
  • -180.0 - +180.0(alt)
  • Dry Bulb Temperature(tdry)
  • Relative Humidity (hybrid-b grid)(rh)
  • Ascent rate(asc)
  • Dewpoint Temperature(dp)
