Abstract
Basic principles of the quality control of aerological data are formulated. These principles are assumed as a basis for the procedure of the control of archival and current data of upper-air sounding at All-Russian Research Institute of Hydrometeorological Information-World Data Center including the section of aerological information of the Russian State Fund. It is demonstrated that the only possible way to solve a problem of creation of historical high-resolution global datasets is the use of the method of complex (multicomponent) quality control.
