GRIP BARBADOS/CAPE VERDE RADIOSONDE V1

The GRIP Barbados/Cape Verde radiosonde data set consists of generally two soundings per day (06Z and 12Z) launched from Barbados, and one sounding per day (12Z) launched from Cape Verde during the Genesis and Rapid Intensification Processes (GRIP) field campaign. The major goal was to better understand how tropical storms form and develop into major hurricanes. These radiosondes measure the profile of atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, from the ground to an altitude of up to 40 km (in general, the sondes reached at least a pressure of 100 milibars). The launch program began on August 14, 2010 and ended September 24, 2010. The sondes used were type DFM-06, built by GRAW Radiosondes, Nuremberg Germany. Most ascents were done with TOTEX 200-g latex balloons using the DMF-06 sondes. A few launches were made using TOTEX 800-g Balloons with the DFM-97 package (connected with ECC ozonesonde). On some days launch times were changed, and multiple launches were made from Barbados on September 9, 10 and 21. The data were retrieved using a GRAWMET GS-E ground station. The sample rate of the data was 4 seconds for the Barbados data and 2 seconds for the Cape Verde data.

GRIP 巴巴多斯/佛得角无线电探空数据集包含在GRIP（Genesis and Rapid Intensification Processes）野外考察期间，从巴巴多斯每日平均两次（06Z和12Z时次）以及从佛得角每日一次（12Z时次）发射的探空数据。该数据集的主要目标是深入探究热带风暴的形成与发展成为强烈飓风的过程。这些探空仪测量了从地面至高达40公里（通常，探空仪至少达到100百帕的压力）的大气压力、温度、湿度、风速和风向的垂直剖面。发射计划始于2010年8月14日，并于9月24日结束。所使用的探空仪型号为DFM-06，由德国纽伦堡的GRAW Radiosondes公司制造。大多数上升过程使用的是TOTEX 200克乳胶气球，配备DMF-06探空仪。少数发射采用TOTEX 800克气球，并使用DFM-97套装（与ECC臭氧探空仪相连）。在某些日子里，发射时间有所调整，并在9月9日、10日和21日从巴巴多斯进行了多次发射。数据通过GRAWMET GS-E地面站进行接收。巴巴多斯数据采样率为每4秒一次，而佛得角数据则为每2秒一次。
