a vertical profile of atmospheric temperature, moisture or some other parameter

A sampling of upper air conditions made by means of instruments and a small radio transmitter on a free balloon. Automatic radio signals originated by action of weather instruments are sent to a ground receiver. These signals are interpreted for use in analyzing and predicting upper air conditions over a wide area of the earth. Weather elements determined at a number of altitude points as the balloon rises are temperature, atmospheric moisture, pressure, wind direction and speed. Similar soundings may be made using fixed balloons or tethersondes. see also: Radiosonde

a plot of the vertical profile of temperature and dew point (and often winds) above a fixed location; used extensively in weather forecasting

In meteorology, a single and complete radiosonde observation.

A temperature profile of the atmosphere measured by a radiosonde. Also can indicate wind and dew point.

A plot of the atmosphere, using data rom upper air or radiosonde observations. Usually confined to a vertical profile of the temperatures, dew points, and winds above a fixed location.

A measured DEPTH of water. On hydrographic charts the SOUNDINGS are adjusted to a specific plane of reference ( SOUNDING DATUM).

ascertaining the depth of the sea by means of a lead and line, sunk from a ship to the bottom.

The charted depth of an area

the act of measuring depth of water (usually with a sounding line)

having volume or depth; "sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal"; "the sounding cataract haunted me like a passion"- Wordsworth

The operation of finding the depth of water at the boats position. If asked what the sounding is you give the depth of water at the time, these days usually by an echo sounder.

the act of measuring depth of water by using a lead line or a fathometer

Sounding is a method of measuring the depth of a body of water by dropping a weight attached to a rope and letting it hit the bottom.

A measure of the depth of water.

Charted water depth.

Measurement of various heights.

A measurement of the depth of water

Measuring the depth of water beneath a ship.

In geophysics, a survey method whereby the geometry and/or frequency of an array of sensors is varied so as to measure the physical properties of the earth as a function of depth beneath the configuration. The alternative is usually profiling.

depth measured; the number indicating depth on a chart; the process of measuring fuel or water in a ship's tanks

The depth of the water as marked on a chart.
