SkewT Plots from All PECAN Radiosondes
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/485.123

Summary
This data set contains SkewT plots generated by Colorado State University from
all of the radiosonde releases from the PECAN Mobile PISA (MP1 - OU/NSSL
CLAMPS, MP2 - UAH MIPS, MP3 - UW SPARC, and MP4 - NCAR/EOL MISS), Fixed PISA
(FP1 - ARM Central Facility; FP2 - UMBC/NPS Greensburg, KS; FP3 - MU Ellis,
KS; FP4 - NCAR/EOL Minden, NE; FP5 - NCAR/EOL Brewster, KS; and FP6 - ARM
Hesston, KS), and MGAUS (CSU, NCSU, NSSL) radiosonde sites throughout the
Central United States. Soundings were taken during PECAN IOP and UFO periods.
The plots are in PDF format.
