Abstract has 6 upper air stations for GPS S SR2K2 Modemwith Radiosonde M2K2_DC, 6 Upper Air stations of RDF Radiotidolite RT20A ( Vaisala ) and three Upper Air Stations of GPS Sounding System MW31 (Vaisala) with Radiosonde RS92-SGP. Egyptian Meteorological Authority ( EMA ) has 6 upper air stations for GPS Sounding System SR2K2 Modem with Radiosonde M2K2_DC, 6 Upper Air stations of RDF Radiotidolite wind finding RT20A ( Vaisala ) and three Upper Air Stations of GPS Sounding System MW31 (Vaisala) with Radiosonde RS92-SGP. this stations distributed for 6 places in Egypt as fig (1). we used it in last according to the weather of the places and the seasons of the year. So there are many procedure to do during running of the upper air sounding programs and also after running the program. We must do quality control for obtaining high quality data before sending buffer and temp code to the communications network for exchange of data on the GTS. The Managements System Of Egyptian Meteorological Authority ( EMA ) has been assessed and complying with Iso goal for the following activities ( Exchange and distribute meteorological data for observations). So we decided to stop using of the RDF Sounding System since two years because the problems of the wind speeds and directions. we will use DigicoraIII dual-mode GPS/RDF wind finding and modem GPS data Comparison flights executed in Asswan, and Marsa Matrouh stations during 2007 to 2012 by the EMA.

S Radiotheodolite Sounding System :- In Egypt their are two kinds of Jet Stream Polar and Subtropical Jet Stream passes in winter and autumn this effects to upper winds are very strong which leads to the balloon elevations at about 12 km altitude remains below 20 degree and some time the radius of balloon trajectory is about 130 km far from ground station at 16 km altitude So Radiotheodolite wind finding is not suited for Egypt situations where the balloon elevations. remain about 20°, At low balloon elevations, the measurement errors with Radiotheodolites increase rapidly with decreasing elevation even with larger tracking aerials It is extremely difficult to satisfy the accuracy requirements in this Part with a Radiotheodolite if upper winds are consistently very strong, Radiotheodolite wind observations are smoothed over thicker layers than indicated in these calculations at all heights apart from 5 km.

by using dual-mode GPS/RDF Vaisalasystem in the Matoh upper air station (62306) with software digcora III and 500 g meteorological balloon By comparison of wind observations between the two systems RDF and GPS at ( Dec to feb 2008 ) GPS and ( Feb to Abr 2007 ) RDF by using dual-mode GPS/RDF Vaisala system in the Matoh upper air station (62306) with software digcora III and 500 g meteorological balloon we found that :- Higher level of PTU measurement performance for both GPS and RDF systems. Excellent upper-air wind data availability with code correlating GPS technology Excellent upper-air wind data availability with code correlating GPS technology Reliable narrowband digital transmission for GPS versions. Reliable narrowband digital transmission for GPS versions. Continuously available, highly accurate wind data with code correlating GPS than RDF systems. accurateupper wind observations of GPS system is giving accurate informations at higher altitude than RDF system.

To IMPROVEMENTS IN REPORTING PROCEDURES When we used RDF sounding system the upper winds are reported using the TEMP code and buffer code The TEMP AND CLIMATE report should be checked against the detailed upper-wind measurement and the reported messages should be edited to eliminate unacceptable fitting errors before issue if we used old version of digicoraiii But with new version of digicora iii it was eliminates unacceptable fitting errors then we loose many information's of wind data at high altitude which it is important for numerical weather forecasts. So Upper winds data are normally input into numerical weather forecasts as layer averages, the thickness of the layers depending on the scales of atmospheric motion relevant to the forecast. Thus, it is important that the variation in winds between standard levels is accurately represented in upper-wind reports, in addition to ensuring that accurate winds are reported at the standard levels. The upper-wind reports should contain enough information's to define the vertical wind shear across the boundaries between the various layers in the mass fields. For this reason we decided to stop using of the RDF sounding system because the problems of the wind speeds and wind directions which we found.

Asswan station in Egypt it is one of The Upper-air Network (GUAN) which consists of stations selected from the Global Observing System of the World Weather Watch. Criteria for choice of sites included homogeneity, a history of high quality observations. GUAN The data collected by the network of GUAN stations are transmitted on the GTS in the form of upper-air reports (TEMP and CLIMAT TEMP). International centers perform quality control on the data, prepare data products for users, and archive it for future users. Data Of GUAN for Asswan Station ( ) :- Range time WMO STATION OBS LVLS 00Z 12Z AVGPRS >100 >50 >10 TEMPS DPDS WINDS ( upper air station) (8/2007 ) ASSWAN, EGYPT ( Air RDF) (8/2008) ASSWAN, EGYPT ( vaisala RDF) (11-4/ 2009)( vaisala RDF&GPS) (11-4/ 2009) ASSWAN, EGYPT ( vaisala RDF&GPS) (1-6/2012) ASSWAN, EGYPT ( modem GPS ) By using different sounding systems Air RDF Vaisala RDF / GPS and Modem GPS from Guan data and all system we used 500 g of Metrological balloon which burst at latitude less than 30 km and fill with Hydrogen gas then We found that:- By using different sounding systems Air RDF, Vaisala RDF / GPS and Modem GPS from Guan data and all system we used 500 g of Metrological balloon which burst at latitude less than 30 km and fill with Hydrogen gas then We found that:- 1- by using Vaisala RDF sounding system and compare with Air RDF sounding system we found that number of significant levels for temperaturedew point and wind in Air system is less than in Vaisala system. 1- by using Vaisala RDF sounding system and compare with Air RDF sounding system we found that number of significant levels for temperature,dew point and wind in Air system is less than in Vaisala system. 2- by using Vaisala GPS sounding system and compare withsounding system we found that the number of significant levels for temperaturedew point and wind in Vaisala system is less than modem system. 2- by using Vaisala GPS sounding system and compare with modem GPS sounding system we found that the number of significant levels for temperature,dew point and wind in Vaisala system is less than modem system. So Egypt continue to use modem GPS soundingsystems for 6 stations So Egypt continue to use modem GPS sounding systems for 6 stations because easy to use, good quality and low price.
