VORTEX-SE_2017: ULM Mobile Radiosonde Data

Summary

This data set contains temperature, moisture, and wind profiles from the iMet radiosondes utilized in two mobile radiosonde systems operated by the University of Louisiana Monroe as part of the Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment-Southeast (VORTEX-SE) 2017 field season. These data are available in either the original comma-delimited ASCII format provided by ULM or the EOL Sounding Composite format.
