Subject: | SGP/SONDE/C1 - Bad RH Data |
DataStreams: | sgpsondewnpnC1.b1 |
Description: | The RH values below 6 km are incorrect. The problem relates to a failure of the GC25 ground check set used before this particular sounding. The failure seems to have affected the sensor calibration with the effect that one of the two sensors was reading artificially high. Because the internal processing software uses the highest of the two sensor readings, the bad sensor value is chosen whenever it is not heated. |

Subject: | SGP/SONDE/C1 - Bad T/RH and surface P. |
DataStreams: | sgpsondewnpnC1.b1 |
Description: | Apparently multiple failures. The radiosonde temperature sensor broke on launch causing an approximate 35 degC negative offset and as a result, the RH is incorrect. Furthermore, it appears that the pressure sensor was off by approximately 4 hPa, though this would not affect the altitude calculation, the absolute pressure is wrong. |
