Subject:
Pressure jump at launch
DataStreams:sgpsondewrpnB4.a0, sgpsondewrpnB4.a1
Description:
The first pressure value reported by the sonde (941.7) is much smaller
than the surface value (949.9) indicating that the sonde was either
jarred on launch, or that the system failed to properly identify the
start time.  The absolute altitude for the sounding and ascent rates
for the first 30 seconds will be incorrect.
Suggestions: 
Measurements:sgpsondewrpnB4.a0:
  • Relative Humidity (hybrid-b grid)(rh)
  • North Latitude(lat)
  • base time in epoch(base_time)
  • Dry Bulb Temperature(tdry)
  • Wind Direction(deg)
  • Retrieved pressure profile(pres)
  • lon(lon)
  • Ascent rate(asc)
  • Wind status(wstat)
  • Wind Speed(wspd)
  • Dewpoint Temperature(dp)
  • -180.0 - +180.0(alt)
