Dataset

Summary: From 1991-02-17 to 1991-03-15 a total of 106 radiosondes were launched at the meteorological station Bear Island (74.5N, 19.0E) at intervalls of about 6 hours. Measured parameters are temperature, pressure and humidity. Wind direction and speed are deteremined by OMEGA navigation system.

The dataset consists of one archive file (.tar) which contains 106 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 (ARKTIS1991_bearisland_rs_info).
