Description
Radiosonde sounding data at Kototabang, Indonesia (0.20S, 100.32E, 865m MSL) since September 27, 1998. 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, sonde serial number, time, height, pressure, temperature, relative humidity and zonal and meridional winds. The value of -999 means missing data. During the CPEA-II campaign (November 25-23 December, 2005), the balloons were released every hours during 30 November E1 December, 3 E December, 6 E December, 9 E0 December, 12 E3 December, 15 E6 December, 18 E9 December, 2005. For launching every hour, three receivers have been used.
