Verification and analysis of TOVS satellite dataA study which involves the verification of TOVS (TIROS Operational Vertical Soundings) stratospheric temperature information and derived geopotential heights, as well as the higher order derivations of wind, heat flux, and momentum flux, is discussed. Rocketsondes were launched daily at the times of NOAA-7 overpasses of Wallops Island during February 23-March 24, 1982, and resources made available by NASA were used to provide in-situ field measurements and additional analysis. The TOVS satellite products from hemispheric analyses are compared with unsmoothed rocketsonde data. Some of the benefits provided by the comparisons are considered.
