ARM-CART 915 Mhz Profiler and RASS Data Set
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/40.045

Summary
This dataset contains vertical profiles of virtual temperature and wind speed
and direction taken from the Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation
Measurement (ARM) Southern Great Plains (SGP) Clouds and Radiation Testbed
(CART) 915 Mhz Profilers and Radio Acoustic Sounding Systems (RASS) in Lamont,
Oklahoma (Central Facility), Beaumont, Kansas (Beaumont Intermediate
Facility), Medicine Lodge in Barber County Kansas, and Meeker in Lincoln
County Oklahoma. Profiles are generated every hour. The vertical resolution of
RASS virtual temperature is 100 m. The vertical resolution of the high mode
wind profiles is 200 m and for the low mode wind profiles it is 60 m. See the
Readme file for more details.
