The intensive dropsonde phase has started

Issued Friday 1 October 2010.


This week, with now 6 driftsondes aloft, the intensive dropsonde phase has started. We are dropping around 15 sondes a day. These are doubling the number of profiles available over Antarctica

Below is an example of a daily coverage of radiosondes (red dots) and dropsondes (blue dots).
