Atmospheric sounding
Definition
An experimental method or technical procedure for investigating the upper layers of Earth's atmosphere by launching sounding balloons, meteorological rockets, or drones specially equipped with measuring instruments. This structural process enables the determination of the vertical profile of temperature, pressure, humidity, and wind speed, providing fundamental data for weather forecasting.
