Subject:
SGP/SONDE - Operator used wrong calibration tape
DataStreams:sgpsondewndcalcB4.c1, sgpsondewrpnB4.a1, sgpsondewrpnB4.00, sgpsondewrpnB4.a0
Description:
The operator used the wrong calibration tape for this sounding.
The temperature and dew point data are obviously incorrect, the
other thermodynamic variables are incorrect as well.  The calibration
tape was for sonde serial number 819351413, the operator log
shows sonde serial number 819351406.
