TEMP records collected by the Met Office MetDB System

TEMP records describes measurements reported up to four times daily by radiosondes at worldwide fixed land stations. The radiosondes measure parameters such as atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, and wind speed and direction. The data are measured from the surface to approximately 20-30 km, and measurements are usually taken every 2 seconds. These data are provided from the Met Office as-is requiring each message part to be brought together to form each profile.
