  Initial Request

Hello,
What is the difference between "Elevation" and "Height" for the MET point
observation format. I'm looking at the link here:

Thank you

Hi Tatiana.

The elevation in column 6 is the elevation of the station. The height
in
column 9 is the height of the observation. For example, for soundings,
the
station elevation remains constant while the height increases as the
balloon ascends through the atmosphere. For surface observations, the
elevation = height.

I hope that helps.

Julie
