SkewT diagrams are derived using the data that is collected by the radiosondes. This thermodynamic diagram, or SkewT/LogP diagram, and also known as a sounding, is a graph showing the vertical distribution of the temperature, dewpoint, wind direction, and wind speed of the radiosonde as it rises through the atmosphere near the site where the balloon was launched.
