CASES-97: Upper Air PRELIMINARY Whitewater 10 second CLASS soundings

Summary

This is a preliminary release, please see the README file for complete information. This data set consists of CLASS soundings taken at Whitewater, Kansas for the CASES-97 program. The site was operated by the National Center for Atmospheric Research/Atmospheric Technology Division (NCAR/ ATD). These soundings have been interpolated to 10 second vertical intervals. The quality control information is that provided by NCAR/ATD. UCAR/JOSS has not changed these soundings in any way. This data set includes pressure, temperature, dew point, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and altitude. Refer to the README file for details.
