Description
Summary:Dataset abstract The data set consists of the vertical profiles of the atmospheric variables measured using radiosondes (i-Met) during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition from November 2016 to April 2017. The data include the raw variables measured directly by the radiosondes and derived parameters: altitude (km), air pressure (mb), air temperature (ºC), relative humidity (%), frostpoint (ºC), potential temperature (ºK), water vapour mixing ratio (ppmv), total column water (mm w.e.), wind speed (m/s) and wind direction (deg).
