Radiosonde data of the troposphere and the stratosphere at Pirlangimpi (Garden Point) site during the DAWEX (netCDF format)

ResourceID
spase://IUGONET/NumericalData/RISH/DAWEX/GPN/Radiosonde/radiosonde_gpn_netcdf

Description
Radiosonde sounding data at Pirlangimpi (Garden Point), Australia during three intensive observation periods (13-18 October, 15-20 November 15-20 and 11-16 December, 2001) in the Darwin Area Wave Experiment (DAWEX) campaign. The data are stored in the netCDF files named nD(month)(day)(hour).nc for each launch of the balloon, and time interval is about 3 hours. Pressure, temperature, humidity (relative humidity and dew point temperature) and horizontal wind velocity up to 35 km are stored in every 0.1 km vertical level The data includes condition codes for each parameter ("0" means available). The value "-999" means missing data. Details are described in Tsuda et al. [J. Geophys. Res., 109, doi:10.1029/2004JD004946, 2004] .
