UAlbany Soundings IMPACTS

The UAlbany Soundings IMPACTS dataset consists of data measured with the iMet-3050A sounding system using 200-g meteorological balloons during the Investigation of Microphysics and Precipitation for Atlantic Coast-Threatening Snowstorms (IMPACTS) field campaign. IMPACTS was a three-year sequence of winter season deployments conducted to study snowstorms over the U.S. Atlantic coast. IMPACTS aimed to (1) Provide observations critical to understanding the mechanisms of snowband formation, organization, and evolution; (2) Examine how the microphysical characteristics and likely growth mechanisms of snow particles vary across snowbands; and (3) Improve snowfall remote sensing interpretation and modeling to significantly advance prediction capabilities. The UAlbany Soundings IMPACTS dataset consists of atmospheric pressure, relative humidity, mixing ratio, wind speed, and wind direction measurements. These data are available from January 5, 2023, through March 1, 2023, in ASCII format.

UAlbany Soundings IMPACTS 数据集，由 iMet-3050A 探测系统在 200 克气象气球上采集的数据构成，旨在对大西洋沿岸威胁性暴风雪的微物理和降水进行调研。该调研项目名为 IMPACTS，为为期三年的冬季季节部署序列，旨在研究美国大西洋沿岸的暴风雪。IMPACTS 项目旨在：(1) 提供对理解雪带形成、组织及演化的关键观测；(2) 探究雪粒子微物理特性和可能的生长机制在雪带间的差异；(3) 提升降雪远程传感的解读和建模，以显著推进预测能力。UAlbany Soundings IMPACTS 数据集包含了大气压力、相对湿度、混合比、风速和风向的测量数据。这些数据以 ASCII 格式，从 2023 年 1 月 5 日至 2023 年 3 月 1 日期间可供获取。
