摘要：This study proposes a method to derive the climatological limit thresholds that can be used in an operational/historical quality control procedure for Chinese high vertical resolution (5–10 m) radiosonde temperature and wind speed data. The whole atmosphere is divided into 64 vertical bins, and the profiles are constructed by the percentiles of the values in each vertical bin. Based on the percentile profiles (PPs), some objective criteria are developed to obtain the thresholds. Tibetan Plateau field data are used to validate the effectiveness of the method in the application of experimental data. The results show that the derived thresholds for 120 operational stations and 3 experimental stations are effective in detecting the gross errors, and those PPs can clearly and instantly illustrate the characteristics of a radiosonde variable and reveal the distribution of errors.
