Subject: | SGP/SONDE - Questionable absolute pressures |
DataStreams: | sgpsondewrpnC1.a1, sgpsondewrpnC1.a0, sgpsondewrpnC1.00 |
Description: | The sonde surface pressure reading was considerably higher than the corresponding THWAPS pressure (988.0 hPa vs 982.3 hPa). The sonde readings are consistent during the sounding, however, suggesting that this is not a case of a pressure jump at launch but one of sensor offset. This problem will only affect those who use the absolute pressure values. The file altitudes, which are based on the relative pressure changes from the surface, should be fine. |
