Global horizontal sounding technique

ID: global-horizontal-sounding-technique

Global Horizontal Sounding (GHS) is a remote sensing technique used primarily in the field of meteorology and atmospheric science. It involves the measurement of atmospheric properties at various altitudes using soundings—essentially vertical profiles of the atmosphere's temperature, humidity, pressure, and other characteristics. ### Key Components of Global Horizontal Sounding: 1. **Remote Sensing**: GHS typically utilizes remote sensing tools such as satellites or ground-based radar that can profile the atmosphere horizontally across large geographic areas.
