R/V Discoverer ISS RASS Temperature Profile Imagery [PRELIMINARY]
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/2.203

Summary
915 MHz Radio Acoustic Sounding System (RASS) Temperature profiles of the
NCAR/Integrated Sounding System (ISS) upper air data collected aboard the R/V
Discoverer during the ACE-1 transect and intensive operations, via the
NCAR/Atmospheric Technology Division (ATD), then converted to GIF image
format. These images consist of temperature profiles to approx 1500 m height
(AGL) at 60 m vertical resolution, taken every 30-min. The data used in these
plots are PRELIMINARY and could change significantly following final
processing by ATD.
