SALLJEX: Santiago del Estero Sounding Data

Summary

This data set contains atmospheric profiles derived from rawinsondes released from Santiago del Estero, Argentina during the South American Low-Level Jet Experiment (SALLJEX) from 15 November 2002 thru 15 February 2003. Rawinsondes were generally released once per day at 06 UTC. The data files consist of vertical profiles of pressure, temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and wind direction measured during rawinsonde ascent. The Joint Office of Science Support (JOSS) performed some quality control on this dataset. Consult the README for more information.

SALLJEX was funded by NOAA/OGP, NSF(ATM0106776) and funding agencies from Brazil FAPESP Grant 01/13816-1) and Argentina (ANPCYT PICT 07-06671, UBACyT 055).
