ResourceID
spase://IUGONET/NumericalData/RISH/misc/BDG/Radiosonde/radiosonde_bdg_netcdf

Description
Radiosonde sounding data at Bandung, Indonesia (6.89S, 107.59E, 740m MSL) since November 5, 1992. The data are stored in the netCDF (network Common Data Form) file named (year)(month)(day)(hour)(minute).nc in universal time, for each launch of the balloon. The netCDF file includes launching universal date, launching universal time, time zone (hour), latitude, longitude, sea level, time, height, pressure, temperature, relative humidity and zonal and meridional winds. The value of -999 means missing data.
