I've been puzzled by the pressure difference between main and bare.  The height
difference only justifies about 0.3mb (bare lower).  (The difference in height
from the topos was about 13' = 4m at ~11m/mb.)  So, I just made a difference
plot and noticed that it varied like temperature by 2mb over 15C.  A 
scatterplot of the pressure difference vs. temperature (see attached) has a 
perfect correlation.  This sounds like the same problem we saw in OASIS98.  
We should get rid of the non-compensated sensor.
