Radiosonde Data from Limon, Costa Rica

The dataset presented here contains sounding measurements collected at Limon, Costa Rica during the Organization of Tropical East Pacific Convection (OTREC) field campaign, using a Grawmet v 5.9.3.13 Sounding System. The observations were carried out between 16 August 2019 and 30 September 2019, launching 12-hourly soundings with periods of 2-3 hourly launches, for a total of 115 soundings. A launch on 9 Aug 2019 at 21Z was a test launch of the system. The sounding system at Limon had software issues that resulted in poor realtime altitude and pressure information about 20-25% of the time. The system permits "simulating" the soundings after they have been completed. See the readme for details.
