Subject:
Pressure jump at launch
DataStreams:sgpsondewrpnB4.a0, sgpsondewrpnB4.a1
Description:
The difference between the first pressure value reported by the sonde after
launch (944.9) and the surface pressure (949.8) is larger than expected.
The absolute altitude for the entire sounding and the ascent rate for
the first 30 seconds will be questionable.
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)
  • Time offset from base_time(time_offset)
