ISS
Definition
- The Integrated Sounding System (ISS) was developed jointly by the Surface and Sounding Systems Facility of the National Center for Atmospheric Research Atmospheric Technology Division and the Aeronomy Laboratory of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The ISS combines various measurement systems, both in situ and remote, to take advantage of the positive attributes of each. The ISS further integrates the data from the various measurement systems for archival and display. The ISS consists of four separate subsystems: Balloon borne radiosonde navaid (GPS, Loran) sounding system; Enhanced surface observing station; 915 MHz Doppler clear-air wind profiling radar; Radio Acoustic Sounding System (RASS).
