M2HATS: ISS RASS virtual temperature Data

Alternative title(s)

d361537

Abstract

The 449 MHz Modular Wind Profiler was equipped with RASS (Radio Acoustic Sounding System) for virtual temperature measurements. The Profiler operated in RASS mode for 5 minutes every half hour for most of the campaign. Two RASS datasets are provided: (1) daily 5-minute averages every 30 minutes and (2) moments with a 20-second average dwell. Refer to the data report for details on the quality and QC processing methods.
