High resolution radiosonde data from the British Antarctic Survey's Rothera station. The data consists of vertical profiles of pressure, temperature, relative humidity, humidity mixing ratio, radiosonde position, wind speed and wind direction. Measurements are taken at 2 second intervals and the ascents extend to heights of approximately 20-30 km. The archive has data from 2008 and generally there is 1 ascent per day from the station.

Data are collected at the Halley and Rothera stations before being sent through to BAS, Cambridge. A script runs daily at the BADC to retrieve the latest data from BAS by checking the last 7 days. Once data have been transferred to the BADC they are ingested immediately and made available to users.
Radiosonde data from Antarctic stations from the database of Connolley and King (1993) was provided by W. M. Connolley at the British Antarctic Survey, http://www.antarctica.ac.uk/met/data/wmc-radiosonde-export/, through the British Atmospheric Data Centre (BADC), http://badc.nerc.ac.uk.
