The Soundings were usually performed during the daytime of IOPs at two fixed locations. Scheduled launching times were at 05, 08, 11, 14, 17 and 20 UTC. Radiosounding at Burnhaupt le Bas, France: Sondes
The positions of the meteorological towers (IMKMT1 to IMKMT4) are identical with the positions of the launching sites of the drop-up-sondes (IMKRS1 to IMKRS5). There have been no more than 4 teams operating
cops_rsdu_imkrs: meteorological sounding data of dropsondes (mobile radiosondes) launched by mobile radiosonde-teams run by FZK/IMK-TRO during COPS 2007
Dropsondes (mobile radiosondes) were launched by 5 mobile radiosonde teams. The launching sites were different from IOP to IOP. The positions are identical with the positions of the meteorological towers
Several meteorological parameteres were measured at different stations run by FZK/IMK-TRO. Depending on the individual site i.e. wind direction, wind speed, global radiation, reflected irradiance, atmospheric
The ZTD (mm) is the 0-level product of the GPS data processing. It should be used for assimilation purpose. The IWV (kg/m**2) is the 1-level product of the GPS data. The conversion from ZTD to IWV is
