  1. Lecture 1 Geraint Vaughan

  2. Radiosondes Vaisala RS80 Vaisala RS92 European radiosonde stations (launch 00 and 12 UTC) Launching a radiosonde Data available from: http://weather.uwyo.edu/upperair/sounding.html

  3. Examples of radiosonde profiles: temperature vs height stratosphere stratosphere T T troposphere troposphere I stratosphere stratosphere T troposphere T T : tropopause; I: inversion (top of boundary layer in this case) troposphere I

  4. Examples of radiosonde profiles: potential temperature vs height Note: θ always increases with height – we can use θ as a vertical coordinate in the stratosphere
