Characteristics of Temperature and Humidity Inversions and Low-Level Jets over Svalbard Fjords in Spring

Table 2

Comparison of simultaneous soundings by AWI and UT. UT₆₀₀ refers to the inversion statistics based solely on the lowermost 600 m of the UT data. N denotes the number of simultaneous observations for each variable. See Section 3 for definition of variables.
