Abstract:The advanced operational software of the Lband upperair meteorological sounding software system is introduced, including the balloonreleasing program and the sounding data processing program. The system is programmed using the Borland C++ language under the Windows platform with an operational graphic interface according with the upperair operational criterion and is the backbone operational software system in the upperair meteorological sounding network of China Meteorological Administration (CMA). The longterm operational use of the software system shows that the software system is convenient to operate, has a userfriendly interface and strong functions, and has realized the automation from data sampling to data processing. The basic and exceptional processing functions of the software system and some typical troubleshooting examples are described. The future improvement of the software system, the design of the standard data interface, and the programming of the network software system are discussed.
