SNOWIE: Idaho Power Company Lowman Sounding Data. Version 1.0

This dataset contains sounding data from the Idaho Power Company at the Lowman site for Seeded and Natural Orographic Wintertime clouds - the Idaho Experiment (SNOWIE). Idaho Power utilizes Lockheed Martin LMS6 Radiosondes and Ground Systems. The LMS6 Radiosondes use GPS data to track the radiosonde’s position and height as well as calculating wind speed and direction. Other meteorological data that are collected is pressure, temperature, and humidity. These are calculated from a suite of onboard sensors that include a chip thermistor temperature sensor and a LMU6 humidity sensor. This data is transmitted to the LMS6 Ground System at a frequency between 400.250 and 405.875 MHz. The data are in ESC format. Refer to the readme for further information.

本数据集包含爱达荷电力公司（Idaho Power Company）在洛曼（Lowman）站点开展的播撒与自然地形冬季云——爱达荷实验（Seeded and Natural Orographic Wintertime clouds - the Idaho Experiment，简称SNOWIE）相关探空数据。爱达荷电力公司采用洛克希德·马丁（Lockheed Martin）LMS6无线电探空仪（Radiosonde）及其地面系统进行观测：LMS6无线电探空仪依托GPS数据追踪探空仪的位置与高度，并计算风速与风向。本次采集的其他气象数据包括气压、气温与湿度，这些数据由搭载的成套机载传感器计算得到，包含芯片式热敏电阻温度传感器与LMU6湿度传感器。该数据以400.250至405.875 MHz的频率传输至LMS6地面系统，数据格式为ESC格式。更多详细信息请参阅自述文件（readme）。
