DYCOMS-II Upper Air: 915 MHz Profiler Goleta and Point Loma, California Wind
Profile Data (netCDF)
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/68.019

Summary
The 915 MHz Profiler Goleta and Point Loma, California Wind Profile Data
(netCDF) is one of several upper air data sets collected as part of the
Dynamics and Chemistry of Marine Stratocumulus PhaseII: Entrainment Studies
(DYCOMS-II) projectby the National Center For Atmospheric Research/Earth
Observing Laboratory (NCAR/EOL: http://catalog.eol.ucar.edu/dycoms). This data
set includes hourly wind component vertical profiles. There is one file per
hour including vertical profiles from a number of sites (only Goleta and Point
Loma are discussed here). The data set cover the period from 7-28 July 2001.
The data were acquired from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) Forecast Systems Laboratory (FSL). All data are in
netCDF format.
