Radiation correction table RSN2005

• Fine-tuned radiation correction table for Vaisala Radiosonde RS92
• The new radiation correction was verified in the WMO Mauritius Radiosonde Intercomparison, February 200

Solar radiation correction table RSN2005​
NOTES:

• The corrections in the RSN2005 table as a function of pressure and sun elevation angle are shown in the table above
• The corrections are subtracted from the measured temperature

Difference between RSN2005 and RSN96 tables

NOTES:

• The difference between the RSN2005 table and the original RSN96 table as a function of pressure and sun elevation angle is shown in the table above
• Mostly the correction has increased, and thus the effect of the change is to decrease reported temperatures and consequently lower calculated heights
• Below 100hPa the change is less than 0.05 °C and above 30hPa about 0.2 °C
