Description
Summary:This data set contains profiles of temperature and humidity observed by Vaisala radiosondes that are launched nominally twice daily at Summit Station, Greenland as part of the Integrated Characterization of Energy, Clouds, Atmospheric state, and Precipitation at Summit (ICECAPS) Project. These radiosonde measurements did not initially contain wind tracking information, but transitioned towards including wind tracking in one sonde per data starting in 7/2011, then moving to twice-daily wind sondes in 6/2014. The data are processed using the standard Vaisala processing software.
