Idaho Power Company Crouch Sounding Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/534.023

Summary
This dataset contains sounding data for the ice water content from the
isokinetic probe (IKP2) at the Crouch site for Seeded and Natural Orographic
Wintertime clouds - the Idaho Experiment (SNOWIE). Idaho Power utilizes
Lockheed Martin LMS6 Radiosondes and Ground Systems. The LMS6 Radiosondes use
GPS data to track the radiosonde’s position and height as well as calculating
wind speed and direction. Other meteorological data that are collected is
pressure, temperature, and humidity. These are calculated from a suite of
onboard sensors that include a chip thermistor temperature sensor and a LMU6
humidity sensor. This data is transmitted to the LMS6 Ground System at a
frequency between 400.250 and 405.875 MHz. The data are in ESC format. Refer
to the readme for further information.
