This file appears to have a early launch detect signal.
The pressure diagnosed launch time will be used instead of the launch time at the launch (LAU) line.
Diagnosed launch time: 2024-10-07 00:51:40.25
LAU launch line time: 2024-10-07 00:14:26.0
Fast Fall Test
Number of points with excessive fall rate:94
Percentage of points with excessive fall rate: 96
Sounding diagnosed as a fast fall: Yes

QC Height Integration
Upward integration starts @ 0.0m
No launch altitude, so downward integration is not possible.
QC Processing Errors
- This appears to be a fast fall sounding.
- This sounding appears to contain post-splash data. Please remove post-splash data by setting end-of-drop time.
