Altitude misestimation caused by the Vaisala RS80 pressure bias and its impact on meteorological profiles

Previous research has found that conventional radiosondes equipped with a traditional pressure sensor can be subject to a pressure bias, particularly in the stratosphere. This study examines this pressure bias and the resulting altitude misestimation, and its impact on temperature, ozone, and water...
