Dataset

Summary: From 1998-05-06 to 1998-05-14 a total of 54 radiosondes were launched from RV Valdivia at intervalls of about 6 hours. Measured parameters are temperature, pressure and humidity. Wind direction and speed are determined by the OMEGA navigation system.

The dataset consists of one archive file (.tar) which contains 54 data files, one for each sounding. The file format is 'ascii-text', the representation of the measured parameters is described in the 'readme'-file inside the .tar-archive and in the 'additional_info' entry (ARKTIS1989_valdivia_rs_info).

Consistency report

Few dates may be missing due to equipment failure or severe weather. Some sounding may contain data gaps due to transmission errors.
