  "definitions": [
    "A set of measurements of atmospheric conditions taken at multiple vertical levels above a specific location. These measurements are collected using instruments like a radiosonde on a weather balloon, or remotely by a satellite sounder. The resulting data, which include temperature, pressure, humidity, and wind, are plotted on thermodynamic diagrams to analyze atmospheric stability and support weather forecasting.",
    "A set of data measuring the vertical structure of an atmospheric parameter (temperature, humidity, pressure, winds, etc.) at a given time."
