TARFOX_WALLOPS_SONDE This dataset contains the Vaisala radiosonde data acquired during the TARFOX experiment at Wallops Is. during July 1996. There were 25 sondes launched during the experiment; all launches were made on the island from building X85. The filenames include the date and time of launch. Times are specified as Universal Time (UT). Each file is an ascii file. There are several header lines followed by a few lines describing the columns of data. These columns contain time after launch, pressure, altitude, temperature, relative humidity, range, angle, wind speed and direction. The data follows after this. Note that data are acquired prior to launch when the radiosonde was being prepared for launch. Actual flight data follow these prelaunch data. At least one sonde (sonde_960724_1829) had noisy data; others may also contain some obvious bad data.
