Really Bad RRS Soundng




I am pretty sure that San Diego (NKX) switched over to using the RRS Sippican sondes this summer. This evening's (00Z 1 October 2010) sounding is a classic bad RRS sounding, with numerous superadiabatic layers aloft. Shown above are skew-T plots from both Univ. of Wyoming and SPC. What a mess - eventually these serious instrument problems will get straightened out, but lots of bad data continuing to go into the upper-air archives!
