DYNAMO: NOAA P-3 Dropsonde High Resolution L3 Data

Summary

This is one of the upper air data sets developed for the Dynamics of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (DYNAMO) 2011-2012 project. This data set contains 469 high vertical resolution dropsondes released from the NOAA P-3 between 9 November and 13 December 2011. This data set is the same as NOAA P-3 Dropsonde High Resolution L3 Data (EOL format) but with the format converted to the EOL Sounding Composite (ESC) format to match the L2 DYNAMO sounding data sets.

Data Quality	final
Versions	1.0 (2012-09-12) 2.0 (2017-01-04): This version corrects a temperature dependent dry bias that was present in the Vaisala RD94 dropsonde. Both the relative humidity and dew point values have been corrected. (Only the current version of the data is available to order. If you have questions about a prior version, please email us.)
