U.S. Upper Air Rawinsonde (DSI-5810)
Entry ID:
gov.noaa.ncdc.C00183
Summary
Abstract:
U.S. Upper Air Rawinsonde is historical digital data set DSI-5810, archived at the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). Data are of two types: thermodynamic data (TDAT) and minute wind direction and speed (WDAT). Major parameters in 'TDAT' are station id, observation id, elapsed time of data levels, pressure height, temperature, moisture, equipment performance and ship position (if applicable). Major parameters in 'WDAT' are station id, observation id, wind direction and speeds for each available minute of winds aloft data. Unique ship numbers which were established by NCDC are included in these data.
Purpose: To make a wide range of climatic data available to researchers and the public. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: data set CURRENTNESS REFERENCE: Ground Condition

Quality
ATTRIBUTE ACCURACY REPORT: The quality of these data are considered very good. 'TDAT' has a few instances where the height data may be incorrect. Corrections may be computed from the pressure, temperature, and moisture using the hydrostatic equation. 'WDAT' total times may occasionally be incorrect.
LOGICAL CONSISTENCY REPORT: Unknown COMPLETENESS REPORT: Completeness information not available. LINEAGE/PROCESS STEP: PROCESS DESCRIPTION: Not derived from another data set. PROCESS DATE: Unknown
