Abstract

The University of Leeds radiosonde data contain measurements collected by a radiosonde at Archern and Hornisgrinde, Germany from the 19th of April 2007 to the 30th of August 2007. The dataset contains measurements of air temperature, air pressure, wind speed and wind direction, and relative humidity.

The dataset contains the following measurements:
Scaled logarithmic pressure (4096 * ln P)
Air temperature (K
Relative humidity (percent)
Northward wind (m s-1)
Eastward_wind (m s-1)
Altitude (m)
Air pressure (hPa)
Dew point temperature (K)
Humidity mixing ratio (g/kg)
Wind from direction (degree)
Wind speed (m s-1)
Sonde azimuth (degree)
Sonde distance (m)
Longitude (degree_east)
Latitude (degree_north)

Data lineage:

Data were collected by the Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements (FAAM) aircraft and the deployment of a number of the UK Universities' Facility for Atmospheric Measurement (UFAM) mobile instruments in summer 2007.
Data were then prepared by project participants and then submitted to BADC for archiving.

Data Quality:
Data are from experimental measurement campaign and thus the user should refer to the records covering the data from each individual instrument for further information on data quality.
File Format:
The data are binary or & (ASCII) formatted
