GCIP/NESOB-97: NWS High-Resolution Radiosonde Data

Summary

The GCIP/NESOB-97 6-second NWS Soundings dataset contains high resolution sounding data extracted from NWS MicroART Sounding systems at 12 sites in the NESOB-97 domain. The dataset contains one sounding level every 6 seconds up to 3000 m above the surface. These data have been quality-controlled, with every sounding subjected to computerized consistency checks. This dataset includes pressure, temperature, dew point, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction and altitude.
