Radiosondes
Tephigrams generated from routine radiosondes are stored in /home/users/sws17m/CurrentWeather/Sondes/YYYYMMDD as postscript (.ps), .pdf, .svg and .png files. There are issues displaying .pdf due to antialiasing. The .ps files display ok with anti-aliasing off. The .svg files cane be loaded into inkscape and other drawing packages. This is an example of the .png format:
Note the unconventional magenta line is a theta_w line which is useful for teaching.
Let me know if you'd prefer a version without.
