Subject:
Pressure jump at launch
DataStreams:sgpsondewrpnB4.a1
Description:
The difference between the first pressure reported by the sonde after
launch (930.0) and that reported at the surface (935.7) is larger than
would be expected.  The altitude values for this sounding will be incorrect,
as will be the ascent rates for the first 30 seconds.  Some of the P, T, and
RH samples (most likely those nearest the ground) will be interpolated
values.
Suggestions:
