Methods & Procedures

Procedures and methodology used for, e.g., sampling and sample storage, sample pretreatment, extraction and analysis, including which laboratories are involved, references to methods employed, etc.

• atmosphere pressure, • geopotential height, • air temperature, • dew-point deficit, • wind structure, the parameters are measured: • at ground level, • at standard heights, • on standard isobaric surfaces, • at tropopause level, • at special points downwind and at the level of maximum wind • and also cloud amount data as of the moment of sounding. The archive includes temperature wind sounding of atmosphere for 00,06,12,18 GMT.
