SkewT Plots from All PECAN Radiosondes

Summary

This data set contains SkewT plots generated by Colorado State University from all of the radiosonde releases from the PECAN Mobile PISA (MP1 - OU/NSSL CLAMPS, MP2 - UAH MIPS, MP3 - UW SPARC, and MP4 - NCAR/EOL MISS), Fixed PISA (FP1 - ARM Central Facility; FP2 - UMBC/NPS Greensburg, KS; FP3 - MU Ellis, KS; FP4 - NCAR/EOL Minden, NE; FP5 - NCAR/EOL Brewster, KS; and FP6 - ARM Hesston, KS), and MGAUS (CSU, NCSU, NSSL) radiosonde sites throughout the Central United States. Soundings were taken during PECAN IOP and UFO periods. The plots are in PDF format.
