CaPE USAF/CCAFS RATS Rawinsonde Data

Summary

A back-up USAF/CCAFS Radiotheodolite Automatic Tracking System (RATS) was provided to CaPE. Flights from 9-12 July were for training and RATS was available through 28 July. Data consists of vertical profiles of pressure, temperature,relative humidity and wind speed/direction. Data are available in two resolutions: 500-2000 gpf and 6 sec (only thermodynamic and balloon position).
