Subject:
SGP/SONDE/C1 - Temperature/RH incorrect
DataStreams:sgplssondeC1.c1, sgpsondewnpnC1.b1
Description:
The temperature throughout this sounding is too high and as a result the RH values will be 
incorrect as well.  I'm not sure what is wrong here but the operators noted reasonable 
values (18.1 degC, 87%) in the log before launch.  Review of the raw data, however, shows 
the sonde reporting temperatures nearly 20 degC higher.  I suppose it is possible that 
the operator entered into the log the reference temperature from the GC25 ground check set 
rather than the temperature reported by the sonde - I can't think of any other 
explanation - there is no doubt that the temperature sensor on this sonde was bad.
Measurements:sgpsondewnpnC1.b1:
  • Surface dew point temperature(dp)
  • Dry-Bulb Temperature(tdry)
  • Relative humidity scaled, by total column amount from MWR(rh)

sgplssondeC1.c1:
  • Relative humidity scaled, by total column amount from MWR(rh)
  • Dry-Bulb Temperature(tdry)
