Subject:
SGP/SONDE/C1 - A few bad temperature values at the beginning of the sounding
DataStreams:sgpsondewnpnC1.b1, sgpsondewnpnC1.a1
Description:
I've never seen this before.  The temperature reported by the radiosonde dropped over 30 
degC just after launch (usually a symptom of a broken temperature sensor), but then 
recovered after 14 seconds of bad readings.  The temperatures from 2 seconds through 14 seconds 
after launch are incorrect, the remainder of the sounding looks fine.  I have sent the 
data files to Vaisala for their consideration.
Suggestions: 
null
Measurements:sgpsondewnpnC1.b1:
  • Dry Bulb Temperature(tdry)
  • Dewpoint Temperature(dp)
