Subject:
Pressure jump at launch
DataStreams:sgpsondewrpnC1.a1
Description:
The difference between the first pressure value recorded by the radiosonde
after launch (984.5) that the surface value entered by the operator (989.3)
is somewhat larger than would normally be expected.  This will result in
incorrect altitude values throughout the sounding.  The ascent rates
during the first 30 seconds also will be incorrect.
