BEACHON QC Radiosonde Data - Manitou Site. Version 1.0

The Bio-hydro-atmosphere interactions of Energy, Aerosols, Carbon, H2O, Organics and Nitrogen (BEACHON) is a project aimed at examining the evolution of thermodynamic structures in the boundary layer above the Manitou Experimental Forest located Colorado. BEACHON included the use of two stationary GPS Advanced Upper-Air Sounding (GAUS) systems at two separate sites, the Hayman site and the Manitou site. These sounding systems were set up to collect radiosonde data for two intensive operations periods (IOPs). The project targeted one “wet episode”, between Aug 12-14, which followed a major rain event, and one “dry” episode, one week later, from Aug 21-23. A total of 147 quality controlled radiosonde soundings are contained in the final archive.

能量、气溶胶、碳、水、有机物与氮的生物-水文-大气相互作用项目（Bio-hydro-atmosphere interactions of Energy, Aerosols, Carbon, H2O, Organics and Nitrogen，缩写BEACHON）是一项旨在研究美国科罗拉多州曼尼托实验林上方边界层热力学结构演化的科研项目。该项目在海曼观测场与曼尼托观测场两个独立场地部署了两套固定式GPS先进高空探测（GPS Advanced Upper-Air Sounding，缩写GAUS）系统。这两套探测系统用于在两个强化观测期（Intensive Operations Periods，缩写IOPs）内采集无线电探空数据。本项目选取了两个典型观测时段：一是8月12日至14日的“湿期”，该时段紧随一场强降雨过程；二是一周后的8月21日至23日的“干期”。最终归档的数据集中共包含147份经过质量控制的无线电探空廓线数据。
