Abstract
This report presents the meteorological data acquired by twenty-six
radiosondes launched during the hydrographic cruise 0PT0MA11, Leg DII (30 June
to 10 July, 1984). To compare the prevailing atmospheric and oceanic conditions
the radiosonde potential temperature and specific humidity profiles are plotted
with nearly coincident XBT temperature profiles. Also included are: 1) time
series plots of hourly dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures and hourly wind
velocities, 2) an AVHRR image, and 3) National Weather Service surface pressure
