TWP/SONDE/C2 - Broken temperature sensors
DataStreams:twpsondewnpnC2.b1
Description:
The temperature sensors on these radiosondes broke after launch.  All
temperature-related data are incorrect.
Measurements:twpsondewnpnC2.b1:
  • Relative humidity scaled, by total column amount from MWR(rh)
  • Dry-Bulb Temperature(tdry)
  • Surface dew point temperature(dp)

Subject:
TWP/SONDE/C2  - Questionable rH data
DataStreams:twpsondewnpnC2.b1
Description:
It appears that the RH sensor heating circuit failed during this sounding.  The RH 
oscillates rapidly between low (~0 %RH) and not so low (ambient %RH) and the oscillation seems 
to stop when the temperature is below ~35 degC.  According to Vaisala these are symptoms 
of failure in the ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) that controls the heating.

  • Relative humidity scaled, by total column amount from MWR(rh)
  • Surface dew point temperature(dp)

TWP/SONDE/C1 - Bad RH sensors
DataStreams:twpsondewnpnC1.b1
Description:
It appears that the RH sensor heating circuit failed during this portion of the sounding 
(approximately between 0km and 12km).  The RH oscillates rapidly in a 20% range and the 
oscillation seems to stop when the temperature is below ~45 degC.  These are symptoms of 
failure in the ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) that controls the heating.

  • Surface dew point temperature(dp)
