Dear Roy,
1. Would a typical atmospheric physicist searching for sound velocity
in air data be happy to receive hits from data sets containing air
density, but not sound velocity per se?
I don't think so. As I recall the speed of sound in a gas is
approximately proportional to the square root of the absolute
temperature, but a physicist would know this, and if the sound speed
were unavailable would look for temperature and compute it.
2. Would a typical atmospheric physicist
searching for air density data be happy to receive hits from data sets
containing air temperature but not air density per se?
I don't think so. The density can be computed if the temperature and
pressure are known, but again a physicist would know this and could look
for temperature and pressure if density were not found.
Best regards,
Karl
As my experience in the atmospheric physics domain is extremely limited
any opinions from those who work with these types of data would be very
much appreciated.
Cheers, Roy.
Please note that I now work part-time from Tuesday to Thursday. E-mail
response on other days is possible but not guaranteed!
