Global Horizontal Sounding Technique

A Dictionary of Earth Sciences | 1999 | | Copyright

Global Horizontal Sounding Technique (acronym GHOST) Programme for the direct sensing of the atmosphere, using balloons designed to float at various constant-density levels. These are tracked and their various measurement readings are monitored by polar orbiting satellites. Sensors on the balloons record temperature, humidity, and pressure; tracking gives mean winds for each balloon. The project forms part of the World Weather Watch.
