Hokitika Quality Controlled ISS Radiosonde Data (EOL Format)
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/379.028

Summary
The Deep Propagating Gravity Wave Experiment (DEEPWAVE) was a research project
conducted over New Zealand to study how topography and tropospheric winds can
induce the formation of gravity waves which propagate upward through the
troposphere, into the stratosphere. NCAR's Earth Observing Laboratory deployed
an Integrated Sounding System (ISS) with a radar wind profiler and other
ground instrumentation to Hokitika, located on the West Coast of the island.
From that site, one hundred forty five balloon-borne radiosondes were launched
between May 25 and July 28, 2014. On 21 January 2015 two soundings contained
in this data set were revised D20140624_111941_P.1.PresCorrQC.eol to remove
all RH data as described in the readme file and
D20140624_200231_P.1.PresCorrQC.eol to remove the temperature data below 465
mb due to a cold bias.
