Discussion of Problem: This sounding was done in RESEARCH mode for
both thermodynamic as well as wind data. The
normal mode is to for RESEARCH winds only. As
a result, both the ascending and descending
flights of the sonde are included in the data
file and none of the data are smoothed or
filtered.
Other observations/measurements impacted by this problem: I think that
some of the radiation codes that use the sonde
data as input don't handle the descending samples
well. I'm not sure which ones may be affected.
Suggested Corrections of the Problem: (e.g. change calibration factor and
recompute, flag data with this comment, etc.) Users should be notified and,
if (and only if) requested, the sounding could be reprocessed either using
the software developed at the EC or the digi-CORA.
