DEEPWAVE: Multi-Network Composite Highest Resolution Upper Air Data

Summary

This data set contains a composite of the highest vertical resolution (i.e. the “native resolution”) upper air sounding data from all sources for the Deep-Propagating Gravity Wave Experiment (DeepWave).  The composite includes 853 soundings from  five sources around New Zealand and the surrounding ocean:

  • NSF/NCAR Gulfstream-V dropsondes (282 soundings)
  • Australian Bureau of Meteorology radiosondes from Hobart (137 soundings) and Macquarie Island (140 soundings)
  • NIWA (National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research) radiosondes from Haast, New Zealand (51 soundings)
  • DLR radiosondes from Lauder, New Zealand (98 soundings)
  • NCAR/EOL radiosondes from Hokitika, New Zealand (145 soundings)
