REFRACTT06 QC Radiosonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/175.014

Summary
The goal of the Refractivity Experiment For H2O Research And Collaborative
operational Technology Transfer (REFRACTT) was to obtain high resolution
measurements of water vapor variability and transport in the convective
boundary layer, in order to assess the improvements these enhanced
measurements have in numerical model forecasts of quantitative precipitation.
An additional goal of this project was to demonstrate the usefulness of using
the NEXRAD radar network to collect refractivity measurements for forecasting
purposes. For this experiment, NCAR/EOL deployed one mobile sounding system to
various locations along the front range of Central and Northern Colorado.
Seventy-six radiosonde launches were performed between June 5, 2006 and Sept
2, 2006. For more information on the REFRACTT project please visit:
