DC3: National Weather Service High Resolution Radiosonde Data

Summary

This is one of the upper air data sets developed for the Deep Convective Clouds and Chemistry Project (DC3) 2012 project. This data set includes 5520 high vertical resolution soundings from 53 1-second National Weather Service (NWS) rawinsonde stations located throughout the United States for the period covering 10 May 2012 through 30 June 2012. Soundings were typically released twice daily during this period. These data were converted into the EOL Sounding Composite (ESC) format (columnar ascii).
