SGP/SONDE/B1  - Sounding 950717:2330 Done in Research Mode
DataStreams:sgpsondewrpnB1.a1, sgpsondewrprB1.00, sgpsondewrprB1.a0, sgpsondewrpnB1.a0,
sgpsondewrprB1.a1
Description:
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.  

The instrument mentor believes that some of the radiation codes that use the sonde data as 
input don't handle the descending samples well. Not sure which ones may be affected.
Suggestions:
