GRAINEX: GTS Mandatory/Significant Level Sounding Data

Summary

This data set includes the quality controlled GTS soundings for the Great Plains Irrigation Experiment (GRAINEX) observational period 30 May – 31 July 2018. This data set includes only those stations in the regions for which high vertical resolution data were not available. Those stations with high resolution data are available in a separate data set. A total of 255 quality-controlled, mandatory and significant level resolution soundings are contained in the final data set.
