- Summary
During COPS, the SAFIRE F20 was releasing Vaisala RD93 dropsondes.
It was only allowed to release dropsondes over the Northern black Forest during COPS and EUFAR missions.
A four channel Vaisala AVAPS receiving system was used to monitor and archive thermodynamical and dynamical variables.
More information on the dropsondes can be found at:
