MADIS Radiosonde Dataset
Entry ID:
MADIS_RADIOSONDE
Summary
Abstract:
Radiosondes are balloon-borne instruments that are carried aloft to measure
soundings of wind, temperature, moisture and geopotential height at different atmospheric pressure levels. The synoptic observing programs of the United States and other WMO countries typically provide one to four soundings per day from stations spaced approximately 250 km apart over large land areas and 1000 km over sparsely populated and oceanic regions. The average continental U.S. station separation is currently 315 km, and two observations are scheduled daily (valid at 0000 and 1200 UTC). The MADIS radiosonde dataset provides data from all stations in North America, as well as observations from many other stations around the globe. [Summary Extracted from the MADIS Homepage]
