Temperature profiles are shown on two forms in the MTP software: the measured temperature profile is normally displayed on the Altitude Temperature Profile (ATP) form, and radiosonde temperature profiles are shown on the RAOB form (see Figure 1). The program RAOBman can be used to superimpose ATP form data on top of RAOB form data.

Both the ATP form and the RAOB form show the temperature in Kelvin on the x-axis, as a function of altitude in km on the left y-axis and kft on the right y-axis. These axis can be formatted in different scales and units using the FormatATP and FormatRAOB forms.
