MaudNESS Radiosonde Collection
Josh Spillane Memorial Rawinsonde Data Set

"In memory of Josh Spillane"

The dataset includes all 80 of the soundings from the cruise, including 
one (the first) in port. The filenames are in YYMMDDHH.CAP format (Universal 
Time).   Once unzipped, these are standard ASCII format. There is a header 
with location, start time (UT), column parameter and unit labels and some 
other stuff.  Most of the headers have a "Signal Strength too low" warning; 
ignore this, the signal was fine.  Missing data are indicated by slashes "//". 
We had trouble with the winds at first until we figured out the ship radar was 
messing them up and had them turn it off during soundings.  These are the raw 
data files. They are quite clean, but there might be some bad data points, 
particularly the winds.  We do not guarantee accuracy. 

If downloading the data between April 19, 2006 and April 19, 2008, please
