The data were processed through the automated, visual, and spatial quality control processes. This dataset includes pressure, temperature, dew point, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and altitude. Data were taken at 30/60 second vertical intervals prior to late January 1993, after late January 1993 data were taken at six second vertical intervals. Refer to the station README file for details.
