Resumen:
Transformations that take into account the characteristics of balloon and wave propagation to infer their "real" wavelengths and frequencies from the "apparent" ones measured during the sounding are derived. To estimate the differences that may arise in the observation of gravity waves, a statistical relationship between their wavelength and period recently found from theory and experiment is applied. It is shown that itmay be not possible to determine from each apparent datum a unique real value, because up to four different transformations may be applicableto each experimental datum of wavelength or frequency. However, under certain conditions, this ambiguity may be removed. The ommision of the appropriate transformation may lead one to seriously misinterpret the data.
