The story of the HMS Soltis – the red balloon
The cord got wrapped around the sonde at around 20m so we brought the sonde back down and sent it back up without stopping the sounding. The nocturnal inversion was already in place and the profile for temperature matched on the way up and down. Dewpoint had a much larger spread between up and down.

Barring the jumble of points at the bottom where the sonde sat at the surface too long, the ascent and descent profiles appear to match fairly well. The atmosphere was isothermal, however a slight inversion may be occurring around 10m. Dewpoint was isothermal and relative humidity thus remained nearly stable.
