Objective

  1. Compare Bureau of Meteorology Temperature soundings to ECMWF Era Interim Temperatures, by calculating the MEAN T differences (Tdiff = Tbom - Tera), at all Era Int pressure levels

  2. Compare Bureau of Meteorology Temperature soundings to ECMWF Era Interim Temperatures, by calculating the MEAN TD differences (TDdiff = TDbom - TDera), at all Era Int pressure levels

  3. Calculate standard deviation of all T differences at all Era Int pressure levels

  4. Calculate standard deviation of all TD differences at all Era Int pressure levels

  5. identify stable layers in BoM sounding data

  6. identify stable layers in Era Int data

  7. Calculate percentage of BoM stable layers NOT captured by Era Int
