Environmental Temperature Sounding
An instantaneous or near-instantaneous sounding of temperature as a function of height. This sounding or vertical profile is usually obtained by a balloon-borne instrument, but can also be measured using remote sensing equipment.
Loaded Gun (Sounding)
[Slang], a sounding characterized by extreme instability but containing a cap,
such that explosive thunderstorm development can be expected if the cap can be weakened or the air below
it heated sufficiently to overcome it.
