Abstract:In order to compare the difference between Lband and 59701 upperair sounding systems, an analysis is made of the temperature, pressure, and humidity data of Hangzhou for a whole month by mean of the deviation and mean square deviation methods. The results indicate that compared with the 59701 sounding system, the temperature and height data from the Lband sounding system are more stable and less discrete, which is favorable to the improvement of weather forecasting. There exists a distinct inflexion point at 70 hPa in temperature difference between the two sounding systems, and the reason remains to be studied further.
