Vandenberg AFB High Resolution Radiosonde Data https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/68.057 Summary The Vandenberg Air Force Base High Resolution Radiosonde Data is one of several upper air data sets collected by the National Center For Atmospheric Research/Earth Observing Laboratory (NCAR/EOL) as part of the Dynamics and Chemistry of Marine Stratocumulus Phase II: Entrainment Studies (DYCOMS-II) project. Included in the data set are pressure, temperature, relative humidity, U and V wind components, and altitude taken during radiosonde flights from the United States Air Force Base at Vandenberg, California. The data set covers the period from 7 - 31 July 2001. The soundings are typically available twice per day at 00 and 12 UTC. NCAR/EOL has performed automated quality control on these data. Consult the README for more information.
