Subject:
SGP/SONDE/C1 - Suspect RH profile from 150-350 m above ground level
DataStreams:sgpsondewnpnC1.b1
Description:
Several radiosondes were noticed to have a very stark dry layer between 150 m and 350 m, 
where the RH dropped from approximately 60-80% (which I would take as close to the ambient 
conditions) to less than 2%.  The character of these dropouts look like instrument 
issues, as it only a handful of radiosondes that appear to be affected.  The quicklook images 
from the Raman lidar does not show any very dry layers, thus supporting the hypothesis 
that the RH measurements from these radiosondes (at least in this small ~200 m level) are 
in error.  I should note that the temperature profiles look normal.
Suggestions: 
null
Measurements:sgpsondewnpnC1.b1:
  • Relative Humidity (hybrid-b grid)(rh)
  • Dewpoint Temperature(dp)
