VORTEX2: DOE ARM-CART SGP Lamont, OK (C1) Radiosonde Data

Summary

This data set includes high vertical resolution (2-sec) soundings from the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Southern Great Plains (SGP) Central Facility (C1) site near Lamont, OK collected during the VORTEX2 field campaigns for 2009 and 2010. There are 241 soundings for the 2009 season (1 May through 30 June 2009) and 182 soundings for the 2010 season (1 May through 15 June 2010). There are typically four soundings per day at 00, 06, 12 and 18 UTC. This station used Vaisala RS92-KL radiosondes with Loran-C windfinding during the VORTEX2 field season.
