Subject:
Pressure jump after launch
DataStreams:sgpsondeB1.a1
Description:
The first pressure value recorded by the sonde after launch (949.3 hPa) is
substantially lower than the recorded surface pressure (960.9 hPa).  This
is indicative of either a jarring of the pressure sensor at launch or
mis-identification of the launch time by the system.  In either case, both
the ascent rate and abosolute altitude values are questionable.
Suggestions:
