UKMO - High Resolution Radiosonde Data - UK stations

The radiosonde takes measurements at intervals of approximately 2
seconds. The high resolution data files contain all such data. The
standard resolution data files contain measurements taken at standard
and significant pressure levels of the atmosphere. Standard global
radiosonde data is available from 1997 onwards.

The data consists of vertical profiles of pressure, temperature,
relative humidity, humidity mixing ratio, sonde position, wind speed
and wind direction. Measurements are taken at 2 second intervals and
the ascents extend to heights of approximately 20-30km. Two subsets of
data are avaliable.

Data from Aberporth (on the west coast of Wales) is available from
April 1990 - present - At least one ascent per day up until April
1996, 4 ascents per day thereafter. This data was obtained to support
the work with the MST radar at Aberystwyth.

Data from other UK stations is starting to arrive. Generally there are
4 ascents per day from each station. The archive will have around 10
stations with data from the 1990's.
