Subject: | Bad surface pressure sounding |
DataStreams: | sgpsondewrpnC1.a0, sgpsondewrpnC1.a1 |
Description: | The surface pressure for this sounding was entered by the operator as 996.1 hPa. The first pressure value reported by the sonde is 964.2 hPa. The surface pressure at 11:30 was 972.0 and at 14:30 was 973.5. It appears that the operator entered the sea-level pressure rather than the station pressure. The SMOS pressure during the period is in the 960-970 range. Note that this will affect the altitude calculation throughout the sounding. |
