Additionally, wind speed and wind direction vs. height profiles are shown here:

Comments are as follows: Perfectly clear skies, sun rising. Morning nocturnal temperature inversion about 0-100m AGL. Additional temperature inversion about 420-500m AGL. Surface RH large due to morning cooling; very dry above surface. Light breeze at surface with intermittent wind. Very light wind speeds through lower troposphere. Winds veering from weak southerly to weak westerly in mid troposphere. Northerly upper level winds like yesterday. Lapse rate less steep than afternoon soundings yesterday as atmosphere stabilized. Steady tropospheric lapse rate above inversion like previous day. (Quelet)
