WOEST: Radiosonde profiles from the Met Office Vaisala Sounding Station deployed from Spire View Airfield, Wiltshire, v1.1 (20230713-20230825)
Abstract
Sonde profile measurements from the Met Office Vaisala Sounding Station deployed from Spire View Airfield, Wiltshire, UK. These observations were taken as part of Wessex convection experiment - Observing the Evolving Structures of Turbulence (WOEST) between 20230713 and 20230825.
Data products from this deployment include: sonde profile pressure, temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction.
For further details of this deployment and the associated dataset please see the internal file metadata.
These data conform to the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) data standards and are available under the UK Government Open Licence agreement. Acknowledgement of NCAS as the data provider is required whenever and wherever these data are used.
