- Description
There is no information available about the upper atmosphere in the city of Quito. Therefore, in order to collect information, 5 flights are launched from the EMA-USFQ meteorology station. Radiosondes and ozonesondes are used to collect information, which reach an altitude of approximately 31 km. A detailed description of the protocol that needs to be followed is given. It is based on the protocol of the NOAA organization, and adapted to local conditions. Additionally, a preliminary study of two of the flights is carried out (flight 1 and 4). These are selected for examples of calculations, and as a sample of the vertical profiles of ozone and physical variables measured. Tentatively, it was determined that the height of the tropopause in Quito is around the 16.5 – 17 km. The adiabatic lapse rate of the troposphere at the time and date of the launches is of 6.8 and 7 K/km.
Frente a la escasa información existente sobre la atmósfera superior de la ciudad de Quito, se ejecuta un sondeo meteorológico realizando el lanzamiento de 5 globos meteorológicos con radiosondas y ozonosondas a bordo, alcanzando una altitud de aproximadamente 31 km. Asimismo, se realiza un estudio preliminar de los vuelos 1 y 4 como muestra de cálculo y de los perfiles verticales del ozono y de variables físicas. Se determina tentativamente que, la altura de la tropopausa está a 16.5 – 17 km de altitud. La tasa de enfriamiento adiabática de la tropósfera a la hora y fechas de los lanzamientos es de 6.8 y 7 K/km.
