1946Bull. Amer. Meteorol. Soc. XXVII. 371/1 The recent trend in practice is to combine radiosonde observations and winds-aloft observations in one operation, a Rawinsonde. 1955Sci. News Let. 24 Sept. 197/1 Equipment the Weather Bureau plans to purchase includes:..sixty-five new rawinsondes, to measure winds aloft, including the 200-mile-per-hour river of air known as the jet stream. 1959Jrnl. Geophysical Res. LXIV. 1835 Because of the great altitude of the core of the ‘polar-night’ jet stream, only isolated rawinsonde observations have penetrated the core. 1970Jrnl. Atmospheric Sci. XXVII. 420/1 Sufficient information content exists within the operational U.S. rawinsonde network to resolve the three-dimensional structure of frontal zones. 1975Q. Jrnl. R. Meteorol. Soc. CI. 336 The rainfall patterns are interpreted within a framework provided by routine upper air data supplemented by long sequences of nominally 1-hourly rawinsondes. |
