The following locations that are in close proximity to the western Great Lakes launch a radiosonde twice daily just before 0000 UTC and at 1200 UTC. The information, called a "RAOB" (Radiosonde Observation), that is transmitted from the radiosonde is processed, tabulated and plotted on one of several types of sounding charts.
