ISPA-2007 QC Radiosonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/148.003

Summary
The Inhibition of Snowfall by Pollution Aerosols (ISPA) was the second phase
of a field campaign with the primary objective to better quantify the amount
of water in snow pack lost due to pollution aerosols. The first phase of ISPA
took place in 2002. The second phase was conducted during January and February
2007. Both phases took place near Steamboat Springs, Colorado. ISPA was
organized by the Desert Research Institute (DRI), and the primary site was
located on Mount Werner at the Storm Peaks Laboratory (SPL), with an EOL
Integrated Sounding System located in town, near the base of the Steamboat Ski
Resort. The ISS was equipped with a UHF boundary layer wind profiler, Radio
Acoustic Sounding System (RASS), radiosonde sounding system, a surface
meteorology tower, and a ceilometer for measuring cloud base heights. A total
of 71 radiosonde launches were made from the ISS site, 70 of which are
included in the final archive.
