Dataset
Summary
The Soundings were usually performed during the daytime of IOPs. The scheduled launchings were at 05, 08, 11, 14, 17 and 20 UTC.
Sondes of the type DFM-97 manufactured by GRAW (http://graw.de) have been used. From 26 July at 5:02 DFM-06 sondes of the same company have been used.
On 25 July at 11:08 there was a test run of a DFM-06 sonde.
