2015 03 11 1745Z MGAUS Radiosonde Launch Report

Radiosonde was launched at 1745 UTC (11:45 AM MDT local) on the dot! Any RASS intercomparisons needing to be performed...this is the ideal case. Skew-T ln-p figure shown here:

While the wind speed and direction are shown here:

Summary of observations are as follows: Very sunny. Scattered see-through cirrus clouds at upper levels. Superadiabatic lapse rate near surface. Well defined midday boundary layer top with sharp temperature inversion and RH sharp change. Light surface winds. Variable ABL speed and direction. Wind speed magnitude increasing with height above ABL until about 475 hPa. Wind direction mostly veering with height from above ABL to 475 hPa. Boundary layer existed from about 847 hPa - 800 hPa, about 440 m deep or so.
