Data completion, 1 Jan 1991 through 31 Dec 2015, in the IGRA 0000 UTC sounding with a threshold of at least 65% of data availability at those sites (a); see color bar scale limit on the right varying between <65% and >95% of data availability. Panel (b) shows station elevation () in m msl illustrating diverse characteristics of the sites, with surface elevation varying between near sea level and >2100 m msl.
