Subject:
SGP/Sonde/C1 - Sondes launched an hour early
DataStreams:sgpsondewnpnC1.00, sgpsondewnpnC1.b1, sgpsondewnpnC1.a1
Description:
It looks like someone forgot to set his/her clock ahead.  The sounding that should have 
been done at 23:30 UTC on 4/6 was done at 22:38 and the following sounding, which should 
have been done at 0530 on 4/7 was done at 04:31.  The subsequent soundings all are done at 
the correct times.
Suggestions: 
Not a real problem, just a curiousity.
