A radionsonde was launched at an elevation 200 m with observed surface air temperature 20∘ Cnd surface pressure 1002mb. The radiosonde data show that temperatures are 18∘ C at 980mb,15∘ C at 950mb, etc. Calculate geopotential heights at 980mb and 950mb

Answer:A radiosonde is a battery-powered telemetry instrument carried into the atmosphere usually by a weather balloon that measures various atmospheric parameters and transmits them by radio to a ground receiver. Modern radiosondes measure or calculate the following variables: altitude, pressure, temperature, relative humidity, wind (both wind speed and wind direction), cosmic ray readings at high altitude and geographical position (latitude/longitude). Radiosondes measuring ozone concentration are known as ozonesondes.[1]
