Radiosondes Vaisala RS80 Vaisala RS92 Launching a radiosonde European radiosonde stations (launch 00 and 12 UTC) Data available from:

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

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
