TCSP TICOSONDE-AURA 2005 V1

The TCSP TICOSONDE-AURA 2005 dataset consists of 4 soundings per day (00, 06, 12, and 18 UT) launched from Juan Santamaria International Airport, WMO station 78762, latitude 10 degrees N and 84.2 degrees W. The launch program began at 00 UT on 16 June 2005 and ended 00 UT 24 August 2005. With a very few exceptions, the sondes were Vaiasala model RS92-SGP and the ground station was a DigiCORA MW11 equipped for GPS wind-finding and upgraded for RS92 telemetry. A small number of ascents were made with RS90-AG and RS80-15G sondes. Most ascents were done with 500-g latex balloons filled with hydrogen. Exceptions included 24 ascents at 06 and 18UT in July that were piggybacked on a larger payload consisting of the University of Colorado Cryogenic Frostpoint Hygrometer (CFH) and an ECC ozonesonde. Median termination altitude for all ascents was approximately 26 km. Data were recorded at the maximum MW11 sample rate of one every two seconds. The TCSP mission collected data for research and documentation of cyclogenesis, the interaction of temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind and air pressure that creates ideal birthing conditions for tropical storms, hurricanes and related phenomena. The goal of this mission was to help us better understand how hurricanes and other tropical storms are formed and intensify.

TCSP TICOSONDE-AURA 2005 数据集由来自胡安·桑塔玛丽亚国际机场（WMO站号78762，纬度10度N，经度84.2度W）的每日4次（00、06、12和18时世界时）声学探测组成。该发射计划于2005年6月16日00时世界时开始，并于2005年8月24日00时世界时结束。除少数例外，声学探测仪均为Vaiasala型号RS92-SGP，地面站为配备GPS风速探测和升级后的RS92遥测的DigiCORA MW11。极少数上升使用RS90-AG和RS80-15G声学探测仪进行。大多数上升使用填充氢气的500克乳胶气球进行。7月份的06和18时世界时进行了24次上升，这些上升搭载在一个包含科罗拉多大学低温结霜湿度计（CFH）和ECC臭氧探测仪的大负载上。所有上升的中值终止高度约为26公里。数据以每两秒记录一次的MW11最大采样率进行记录。TCSP任务旨在收集数据，以研究和记录气旋生成过程，以及温度、湿度、降水、风和气压的相互作用，这些相互作用为热带风暴、飓风及相关现象的孕育提供了理想条件。此次任务的目标是帮助我们更好地理解飓风和其他热带风暴的形成和增强机制。
