Purdue University Mobile Radiosonde Data

This data set contains vertical profiles of pressure, temperature, mixing ratio, wind speed, and wind direction from the University of Purdue mobile radiosonde system during the VORTEX-SE 2017 field season. Purdue released a total of 18 radiosondes from locations around northern Alabama on 25, 27, 28, and 30 March; 3, 5, 27, 28, and 30 April; and 1 May 2017. These data are available in either the original columnar ASCII format provided by Purdue or the EOL Sounding Composite Format.
