Standard observation data of the troposphere and lower stratosphere taken by the PANSY radar (text format)

ResourceID
spase://IUGONET/NumericalData/NIPR/misc/SYO/PANSY/pansy_syowa_tropstd_txt

Description
6-hourly horizontal wind velocity data in the troposphere and the lower stratosphere (1.5-13 km) observed by PANSY radar on a regular basis after May 2012. The vertical wind component is omitted. The files are written in text (ascii code). Although the data have been processed after a careful screening for unexpected noise and interferences, they may contain systematic errors nevertheless. It is therefore recommended that you contact us and be advised for the use of data.
