Documentation Order Data
Volumes 1 through 5 of this data set contain millions of vertical
soundings (temperature, pressure, humidity, wind) representing all
available rawinsonde ascents from Arctic land stations poleward of 65
degrees North from the beginning of record through mid-1996. Most
records begin in the late 1950s, and a few in 1947 or 1948. Typically,
20 to 40 levels are included in each sounding. Coverage is relatively
uniform, except in the Greenland interior. All sounding data were obtained from the National Center for
Atmospheric Research (NCAR), and from the NOAA National Climatic Data
Center (NCDC). All data are available on CD-ROM. Documentation is available on disk,
on-line, and as hard copy. Software (FORTRAN and C) programs for data
retrieval are provided on CD-ROM.
