Kite sonde measurements of the evaporation duct at TAPS 2013

The Tropical Atmospheric Propagation Study 2013 (TAPS 2013) was a two week field experiment focused on simultaneous measurements of one-way radar performance and environmental parameters effecting refractivity in the tropical environment. Defence Technology Agency (DTA) scientists collected a series of 108 profiles of humidity, temperature and pressure from 1.4 m to 100 m above sea level during the campaign. These low level measurements were collected to enable comparison with modelled meteorological data.
