Summary
Dropsondes (mobile radiosondes) were launched by 5 mobile radiosonde teams. The launching sites were different from IOP to IOP. The positions are identical with the positions of the meteorological towers (imkmt1 to imkmt4). There have been no more than 4 teams operational on each IOP. The dropsondes are radiosonde-like systems. The maximum height is 12050 m above MSL. At this height, the sondes are separated from the balloon and then glide to the ground. Drop points are up to 70 kilometres apart from launching sites. For detailed information about the sites see supplement file and map.

observation: Level2b The meteorological sensors of the dropsonde are identical in contribution with the SRS 400 sonde (standard PTU unit) and the dewpoint mirror 'Snow White' by Meteolabor is used.
Time intervals:
PTU-Data such as air_temperature, dew_point_temperature and air_pressure (if measured by hypsometer, see below), are measured with respect to variable time stamps (sonde Nr.4 to Nr.33 between 0.8 s and 2.8 s; for sonde Nr.41 to Nr.60 between 0.3 s and 1.1 s for air_temperature and
between 0.6 s and 2.1 s for drew_point_temperature) and linearly interpolated onto constant.
Completeness report
According to agreements within COPS dummy files were created and inserted in the database if data from timesteps were not delivered.
