ARM Radio Acoustic Sounding System (RASS) (915MHz)
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/85.045

Summary
This data set contains hourly vertical profiles of virtual temperature and
vertical wind velocity retrieved from the Department of Energy (DOE)
Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Southern Great Plains (SGP) Radio
Acoustic Sounding System collocated with the 915 MHz Radar Wind Profilers at
the ARM SGP Central Facility and the three ARM SGP Intermediate Facilities. It
also contains the 915 MHz profiler data from the Atmospheric Boundary Layer
Experiement (ABLE) project in the Walnut River watershed in Kansas. This data
set covers the period from 20 May to 31 July 2003. These data are in netCDF
format.
