MARCUS RSV Aurora Australis Radiosonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/552.036

Summary
The Department of Energy/Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (DOE/ARM) program
operated a radiosonde system on-board the RSV Aurora Australis as part of the
Measurements of Aerosols, Radiation, and Clouds over the Southern Ocean
(MARCUS) field campaign. The Australis conducted servicing cruises to Davis,
Casey, and Mawson Stations on the Antarctica coast from its base at Hobart,
Tasmania. Radiosondes were released every six hours (00, 06, 12, 18 UTC)
during these cruises. This data set includes only those soundings that were
released during the SOCARATES (Southern Ocean Clouds, Radiation, Aerosol
Transport Experimental Study) field phase (1 January – 28 February 2018). A
total of 208 2-second vertical resolution radiosondes are included in this
data set.
