Subject:
Pressure jump at launch
DataStreams:sgpsondewrpnB5.a1
Description:
The difference between the first pressure value reported by the sonde
after launch (992.7) and the surface value entered by the operator (997.5)
is somewhat greater than would normally be expected.  This may indicate
jarring of the pressure sensor at launch or misidentification of the
start time by the system.  The altitude values in the file will be incorrect
as well be the ascent rate values during the first 30 seconds of the
sounding.
Suggestions:
