FireSense: Balloon Vertical Profile Measurements, Missoula, MT, USA, 2024
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR and NASA Data Portal — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.3334/ornldaac/2499
This dataset contains five vertical atmospheric profiles collected from balloon-based radiosondes in Missoula, Montana, on August 28-29, 2024.
Description
The data includes air pressure, air temperature, relative humidity, Mean Sea Level (MSL) altitude, dew point temperature, virtual temperature, wind speed and direction, latitude and longitude, and data related to the balloon and instrument. The data were acquired by Graw balloon-based DFM-17 radiosondes under the Idaho Space Grant Consortium, Montana Space Grant Consortium and FireSense project.
The measurements were made between the surface and approximately 29 km MSL. These high-resolution observations of atmospheric state variables are critical for initialization and validation of wildfire smoke transport models and as training data for fire weather artificial intelligence (AI) models. The data are provided in the International Consortium for Atmospheric Research on Transport and Transformation (ICARTT) V1.1 format.
