AHATS QC Radiosonde Data

Summary

Radiosonde soundings were collected by the Integrated Sounding System (ISS) during the Advection Horizontal Array Turbulence Study (AHATS). AHATS was the fourth in a series of field campaigns aimed at improving large-eddy simulations (LES) of turbulence close to the Earth's surface. The first three Horizontal Array Turbulence Studies (HATS) were, HATS (2002), OHATS (2004) and CHATS (2007). This most recent field campaign, AHATS, took place from May to August 2008 in Kettleman City, CA, the location of the original HATS project.
