New Zealand High Resolution BUFR Radiosonde Data

This data set contains the high vertical resolution (2-second) radiosonde profiles of temperature, moisture, and wind for two stations in New Zealand (Invercargill and Paraparaumu) during the SOCRATES field phase. These data were retrieved in real time from the Global Telecommunication System (GTS) and have had no additional quality control. The data are in BUFR format.
