Subject:
SGP/SONDE Pressure jump at launch
DataStreams:sgpsondewrpnB4.00, sgpsondewrpnB4.a0, sgpsondewrpnB4.a1
Description:
Sonde pressure before launch was 947.7, first sample after launch had pressure value of 
940.8.  THWAPS read 946.6.  Either pressure sensor was jarred or the system failed to 
detect launch properly.  Absolute altitudes for this sounding will be incorrect as will the 
ascent rate during the first 30 seconds of flight.
Suggestions:
