GTS Mandatory/Significant Level Sounding 2016 Hurricane Matthew Data (EOL
Format)
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/488.020

Summary
National weather agencies around the world routinely release radiosondes at 00
and/or 12 UTC with occasional special releases. This data set includes the
quality controlled Global Telecommunication System (GTS) soundings released at
sites near tropical cyclones of interest to the Tropical Cyclone Intensity
(TCI) field project. For the 2016 season, this included soundings from 28
September to 9 October 2016 from Bermuda, Wallops Island, Cape Canaveral,
Nassau, Kingston, Grand Cayman, Saint Maarten, and Guadeloupe. A total of 183
quality-controlled, mandatory and significant level resolution soundings are
contained in the final TCI 2016 Hurricane Matthew data set.
