KONTROL1984_valdivia_rs: 3-hourly radiosoundings, launched onboard RV Valdivia, 119 soundings

Hoeber, Heinrich et al.

Dataset
Summary
From 1984-08-06 to 1984-08-23 a total of 119 radiosondes were launched from RV Valdivia at intervalls of about 6 hours. Measured parameters are temperature, pressure and humidity. Wind direction and speed are determined by OMEGA navigation system.

The dataset consists of one archive file (.tar) which contains 119 data files, one for each sounding. The file format is 'ascii-text', the representation of the measured parameters is described in the 'readme'-file inside the .tar-archive and in the 'additional_info' entry (KONTROL1984_valdivia_rs_info).

Description
Few dates may be missing due to equipment failure or severe weather. Some sounding may contain data gaps due to transmission errors.
