Mobile GPS Radiosonde Data from Purdue https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/371.019 Summary Purdue University operated a mobile radiosonde system for the Mesoscale Predictability Experiment (MPEX) during the period from 17 May to 12 June 2013. Soundings were taken intermittently as determined by the weather situation, with a focus on the pre-convective and convectively disturbed environments near deep convective storms in the central United States. Soundings were coordinated with releases from the mobile teams from Colorado State University and the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL). This final MPEX data set includes a total of 94 quality controlled, high vertical resolution (1 second) soundings.
