Idaho Power Company Lowman Sounding Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/534.024

Summary
This dataset contains sounding data from the Idaho Power Company at the Lowman
site for Seeded and Natural Orographic Wintertime clouds - the Idaho
Experiment (SNOWIE). Idaho Power utilizes Lockheed Martin LMS6 Radiosondes and
Ground Systems. The LMS6 Radiosondes use GPS data to track the radiosonde’s
position and height as well as calculating wind speed and direction. Other
meteorological data that are collected is pressure, temperature, and humidity.
These are calculated from a suite of onboard sensors that include a chip
thermistor temperature sensor and a LMU6 humidity sensor. This data is
transmitted to the LMS6 Ground System at a frequency between 400.250 and
405.875 MHz. The data are in ESC format. Refer to the readme for further
information.
