R/V Discoverer ISS Profiler Wind Profile Imagery [PRELIMINARY]

Project:

ACE-1

Summary

Vertical wind profile plots of the NCAR/Integrated Sounding System (ISS) upper air data collected aboard the R/V Discoverer during the ACE-1 transect and Intensive Operations, via the NCAR/Atmospheric Technology Division (ATD), then converted to GIF image format. These images consist of 0.25 km vertical resolution wind profiles taken every 30-min. The data used in these plots are PRELIMINARY and could change significantly following final processing by ATD.
