Subject:
TWP/SONDE/C2 - Bad RH Data (AIRS Validation Sonde)
DataStreams:twpsondewnpnC2.b1, twpsondewnpnC2.a1
Description:
The RH sensor heating circuit failed on this sonde.  This results in
oscillation of reported RH between reasonable values and values near zero.
This was an AIRS validation sounding.
Suggestions: 
The RH profile could be reconstructed albeit at much lower vertical (temporal)
resolution by using only the maximum values of RH reported each minute
or so.
Measurements:twpsondewnpnC2.b1:
  • Relative Humidity (hybrid-b grid)(rh)
  • Dewpoint Temperature(dp)
