Accurate measurements of the vertical profiles of atmospheric temperature are necessary to advance the knowledge of dynamics-thermodynamics-radiative interaction mechanisms triggering convection, and ultimately improve weather forecasting capabilities. Comprehensive inter-comparisons between different remote sensing and in-situ sensors have to be carried for the purpose of obtaining accurate error estimates for these sensors. The presentation reports results obtained in the frame of HyMeX-SOP1.
