TWP/SONDE/C2 - Surface RH value incorrect
DataStreams:twpsondewnpnC2.b1
Description:
The surface RH was reproted as 78%.  The value should have been in the low 50's.  It 
appears the observer did not allow the sonde to equilibrate to ambient conditions before 
taking the reading.  This error also caused an incorrect dew point.
Measurements:twpsondewnpnC2.b1:
  • Relative humidity inside the instrument enclosure(rh)
  • Surface dew point temperature(dp)

TWP/SONDE/C1 - Surface RH value incorrect
DataStreams:twpsondewnpnC1.b1
Description:
The surface RH value of 77% when the value should have been in the low 60's.  It appears 
the observers did not allow the sonde to equilibrate to ambient conditions before 
collecting the surface data.  This error also caused the dew point to be incorrect.

TWP/SONDE/C2 - Surface RH Value incorrect
DataStreams:twpsondewnpnC2.b1
Description:
The surface value entered by the observers for RH (96%) is incorrect.  At the ascent time 
listed in the .ptu file the readings by the Sonde were around 65%.  This low RH value is 
supported by the nearby SMET tower RH reading of 71.8%.  This also caused the surface dew 
point to be incorrect.
Measurements:twpsondewnpnC2.b1:
  • Relative humidity inside the instrument enclosure(rh)

TWP/SONDE/C2 - Surface RH too high
DataStreams:twpsondewnpnC2.b1
Description:
The surface Rh was entered as 94%.  The ascent time has 72% and this value is supported by 
RH values from the nearby SMET system.  This error also will affect the dew point.
Measurements:twpsondewnpnC2.b1:
  • Relative humidity inside the instrument enclosure(rh)
  • Surface dew point temperature(dp)

data are incorrect.
Measurements:twpsondewnpnC2.b1:
  • Relative humidity inside the instrument enclosure(rh)
  • Dry bulb temperature(tdry)
