ARM Radiosonde Data in ESC Format

Project:

MPEX

Summary

The Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Climate Research Facility Southern Great Plains (SGP) site routinely releases radiosondes four times per day (00, 06, 12, and 18 UTC) from its Central Facility located in north central Oklahoma near Lamont (WMO ID 74646). This data set includes the soundings released during the MPEX field phase (15 May to 15 June 2013). A total of 123 quality controlled, high resolution (2-second) soundings are contained in the final MPEX data set.
