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.
Figure 1. The ROAB form used in several programs.
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.
