Discussion of Problem:
It appears that the site operator made a keyboard mistake when entering the
surface temperature for the subject sounding. The temperature was entered
as 26.0 degC and the first temperature value reported by the radiosonde was
14.3 degC. The operators' meteorological observation log shows that the
surface temperature was 14.2 degC at 2300.
Other observations/measurements impacted by this problem:
None
Suggested Corrections of the Problem: (e.g. change calibration factor and
recompute, flag data with this comment, etc.)
Flag data. |
