| Subject: | SGP/SONDE/C1 - Surface pressure incorrect |
| DataStreams: | sgpsondewnpnC1.b1 |
| Description: | I think the operator inadvdertently transposed to digits when entering the surface pressure value. The value entered is 987.0 hPa but the value shown in the raw data file at launch is 978.0. As a result, the absolute altitudes in this sounding will be slightly incorrect as will be the ascent rate during the first 30 seconds of flight. |
| Suggestions: | Recalculate altitudes from corrected pressure at surface. |
