Antarctica High Resolution BUFR Radiosonde Data

Project:

SOCRATES

Summary

This data set contains the high vertical resolution (2-second) radiosonde profiles of temperature, moisture, and wind for the three Bureau of Meteorology stations in Antarctica (Casey, Davis, and Mawson) during the SOCRATES field phase. These data were retrieved in real time from the Global Telecommunication System (GTS) and have had no additional quality control. The data are in BUFR format.
