Aerial sounding
Definition
A scientific method or atmospheric research operation executed with the help of a specially equipped aircraft or by launching meteorological probes from a plane, aimed at measuring and recording the physical parameters of the air at various altitudes. This procedure allows the determination of the vertical profile of temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, as well as wind direction or speed, which are essential data for weather forecasting and flight safety.
