NOAA PT
NOAA Pressure and Temperature

The NOAA Pressure and Temperature (NOAA PT) is an in situ airborne probe that measures atmospheric pressure and temperature. It comprises a digital pressure temperature transducer and slow and fast responding temperature probes. NOAA PT provides measurements of both static and ram pressure and upper air temperature every second. It has an accuracy of 0.5 degrees for temperature and 0.5 mbars for pressure.
