Summary

This data set contains the radiosonde observations from the Coordinated Energy and Water Cycle Observation Project (CEOP) Climate Prediction Program for the Americas (CPPA) ARM North Slope of Alaska (NSA) reference site in Barrow, Alaska. This data set includes 2-sec vertical resolution observations of temperature, pressure, dew point, wind speed, wind direction, and relative humidity. This data set covers the time period from 1 October 2002 through 31 December 2009. Further information about the ARM NSA site is available at http://www.arm.gov . These data are in monthly zip files (1-5 Mb Each) containing netcdf files. These data have not been processed or quality controlled by NCAR/EOL.
