Box 3000 Boulder CO 80307 loehrer@ucar.edu originator This data set is a composite of radiosondes collected from 5 sounding platforms (see Section 2.3) during the Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment 2 (VORTEX2) with data collected from 10 May 2009 through 13 June 2009 and from 1 May 2010 through 15 June 2010. This project was conducted in the central United States and contains a total of 4697 soundings. The 2009 data includes 2578 soundings with 241 high vertical resolution (2-sec) soundings from the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Southern Great Plains (SGP) Central Facility (C1) site near Lamont, OK, 106 radiosonde soundings from two mobile GPS Advanced Upper_Air Sounding (GAUS) systems operated by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), 118 radiosonde soundings from two mobile GPS Advanced Upper_Air Sounding (GAUS) systems operated by the NOAA National Severe Storm Laboratory (NSSL), two high vertical resolution (2 sec) soundings from the West Texas Mesonet Reese Center, TX site, and 2111 soundings from 17 National Weather Service (NWS) sites (all but one have 1 sec vertical resolution, other is 6 sec). The 2010 data includes 2121 soundings with 182 high vertical resolution (2-sec) soundings from the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Southern Great Plains (SGP) Central Facility (C1) site near Lamont, OK, 174 radiosonde soundings from two mobile GPS Advanced Upper_Air Sounding (GAUS) systems operated by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), 186 radiosonde soundings from two mobile GPS Advanced Upper_Air Sounding (GAUS) systems operated by the NOAA National Severe Storm Laboratory (NSSL), three high vertical resolution (2 sec) soundings from the West Texas Mesonet Reese Center, TX site, and 1576 soundings from 17 National Weather Service (NWS) sites (all but one have 1 sec vertical resolution, other is 6 sec). All soundings are provided at the highest possible resolution (i.e. the 'native' resolution). completed EOL Data Support NSF NCAR Earth Observing Laboratory EOL Data Support PO Box 3000 Boulder CO 80307-3000 datahelp@eol.ucar.edu https://data.eol.ucar.edu/ homepage pointOfContact NSF NCAR Earth Observing Laboratory EOL Data Support PO Box 3000 Boulder CO 80307-3000 datahelp@eol.ucar.edu https://data.eol.ucar.edu/ homepage pointOfContact ESC: EOL Sounding Composite Format (ASCII) dataset theme Resource Type 2014-10-16 revision 3.1 DataCite Metadata Working Group originator resourceTypeGeneral Radiosondes NCAR/EOL GAUS/GLASS/CLASS Radiosonde platform Sounding Sounding Composites Upper Air EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WINDS > WIND PROFILES > WIND VELOCITY/SPEED PROFILES EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE > ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WATER VAPOR > WATER VAPOR INDICATORS > HUMIDITY > RELATIVE HUMIDITY EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE > UPPER AIR TEMPERATURE > VERTICAL PROFILES EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE > UPPER AIR TEMPERATURE > BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPERATURE EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WINDS > UPPER LEVEL WINDS > WIND DIRECTION EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WINDS > WIND PROFILES > WIND DIRECTION PROFILES EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WATER VAPOR > WATER VAPOR PROFILES EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE > UPPER AIR TEMPERATURE > DEW POINT TEMPERATURE EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WINDS > UPPER LEVEL WINDS > BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WINDS > UPPER LEVEL WINDS > WIND SPEED EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE > UPPER AIR TEMPERATURE EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ALTITUDE > GEOPOTENTIAL HEIGHT Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) 2018-02-27 revision 8.5 National Aeronautics and Space Administration originator none none grid eng climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere -108.47700 -92.26000 31.94300 45.45500 2009-05-01T00:00:00Z 2010-06-16T00:00:00Z NSF NCAR Earth Observing Laboratory EOL Data Support PO Box 3000 Boulder CO 80307-3000 datahelp@eol.ucar.edu https://data.eol.ucar.edu/ homepage distributor 2941 https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/114.116 https Multi-Network Composite Highest Resolution Upper Air Data homepage Dataset homepage https://data.eol.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/codiac/fgr_form/id=114.116 https Multi-Network Composite Highest Resolution Upper Air Data Data Order Form Dataset order request form.
