Description
Summary:This dataset contains profiles of temperature and humidity observed by Vaisala RS92-K radiosondes that are launched nominally twice daily at Summit, Greenland. These radiosonde profiles initially did not contain any wind tracking information due to expense but have transitioned towards including wind tracking in one sonde per day starting in 7/2011, then moving to twice-daily wind sondes in 6/2014. The data are processed by the Vaisala software with the standard
