Indonesia Site - Surabaya Radiosonde L3.1 Data (ESC Format)

Summary

This data set includes 365 high vertical resolution soundings from Surabaya, Indonesia (WMO 96935) collected during the DYNAMO field campaign for 2011-12. Soundings were typically released twice daily at 00 and 12 UTC from 30 September to 31 March 2012. The station utilized Meisei RS-06G radiosondes. These soundings were provided by JAMSTEC. This L3.1 version of the data set was released 20 May 2014. It includes the L3.0 corrections (application of PDF matching and correction for the relative humidity discontinuity at the 0C level) as well as a correction for reducing the temperature discontinuity at around 300 hPa. These adjustments were applied by JAMSTEC.
