BAMEX: Mobile MGLASS Radiosonde Data

Summary

This data set contains rawinsonde profiles collected during the Bow Echo and Mesoscale Convective Vortex Experiment (BAMEX 2003) from May 24th thru July 6th,2003 . Rawinsondes were released from two Atmospheric Technology Division Mobile Glass systems and the Mobile Integrated Profiling System (MIPS) operated and owned by the University of Alabama, Huntsville . The data set underwent ATD and the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research Joint Office of Science Support (UCAR/JOSS) quality control procedures. Consult the README for more information.

Some of the release times for the MIPS soundings included in this data set were corrected. See the documentation (bamex_mips_correction_record.doc) for more details.
