UKMO - High Resolution Radiosonde Data - UK stations
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The radiosonde takes measurements at intervals of approximately 2 seconds.
Description
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.
