Worldwide Upper Air Radiosonde Soundings, Maps, and Profiles, by Region, 1973-Present

Global coverage of near-real-time upper air radiosonde soundings, maps, and profiles provided by the Department of Atmospheric Science at University of Wyoming for nine regions of the world for the period 1973 to present. The site was developed to support teaching and research at the university. The usage has grown significantly outside that area. The core of this application is GEMPAK (the GEneral Meteorology PAcKage), an analysis, display, and product generation package for meteorological data. The packaged was developed at NASA and later supported at the NWS. GEMPAK is distributed by a National Science Foundation's Unidata [http://www.unidata.ucar.edu].
