Aerological Diagram
An aerological diagram, also known as a Skew T Log P graph, is a snapshot of the atmosphere from the surface to a height of between 16 to 35 km. The data are collected during the ascent of a weather balloon carrying a GPS-equipped radiosonde that transmits at regular intervals to a ground receiving station. Once the data are plotted the vertical stability of the atmosphere can be determined, as well as a range of other important meteorological indices.
