Accuracy in Determining the Height of a Radiosonde by Using a Telemetric Attachment to -Malakhit- Radiotheodolite at Aerological Stations of the Hydrometeorological Service of the Uzbek SSR (O Tochnostt Opredeleniya Vysoty Radiozonda Dalnomernoi Pristavkoi Radio teddolita 'Malakhit' na Aerologicheskikh Stantsiyakh Ugms UZSSR)

Abstract

Cited in this article are the results of an altitude comparison based on a reading of a radiosonde pressure unit, and calculated by measuring the slant range with a range-finding, attachment to a 'malachite' radio theodolite. The relationship between the altitude divergence and the ballon coordinates, the sheltered location of the horizontal site and the characteristics of the subjacent media has been established. The results of special base-line observations were used to calculate the systematic and mean square errors in altitude, made by every measuring means, using P. F. Zaichikov's triple control method.
