DYNAMO: Indonesia Site - Padang Radiosonde L3.1 Data

Summary

This data set includes 421 high vertical resolution soundings from Padang, Indonesia (WMO 96163) collected during the DYNAMO field campaign for 2011-12. Soundings were typically released twice daily at 00 and 12 UTC during October and November 2011 and January through March 2012 and four times daily at 00, 06, 12, and 18 UTC during December 2011. The station utilized Meisei RS-06G radiosondes. These soundings were provided by JAMSTEC. This L3.1 version of the data set was released 20 May 2014. It includes the L3.0 corrections (application of PDF matching and correction for the relative humidity discontinuity at the 0C level) as well a correction for reducing the temperature discontinuity at around 300 hPa. These adjustments were applied by JAMSTEC.
