INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION:
Standard NWS sondes at National Weather Service stations.
Vasiala sondes (NCAR/CLASS) at Plattville site.
Vasiala sondes at FT. McCoy (NASA/LaRC) site.
Vasiala sondes at Wausau (AFGL/Optimetrics) site.
LORAN navigation used to derive winds for Vasiala sonde sites.
TEMPORAL CHARACTERISTICS
Includes data obtained from seven National Weather Service stations at all
routine synoptic times (nominally 0000 and 1200 GMT) and special FIRE Cirrus IFO
soundings at these sites between 1200 GMT on 10-13-86 and 0000 GMT on 11-03-86.
Special soundings were made on all but four days in one of two operation modes:
1) Enhanced - an additional 1800 GMT launch at three NWS sites (GRB, STC, and
PIA) and 2) Intensive - additional launches at all seven NWS sites at up to
three hour resolution as requested (10-22, 10-24, 10-27, 10-28, and 11-02).
Also includes soundings from three special FIRE Cirrus IFO sites (PLA, FMC, WAU)
For the most part, PLA followed the same schedule as the GRB, STC and PIA sites.
Unlike PLA, FMC often did not sound at the routine synoptic times but usually
did launch at the special times requested for the enhanced and intensive modes.
WAU participation was more sporadic and usually launched at different times
from the other stations in support of AFGL operations.
Actual launch times are given when available.  If unknown, the launch time was
set to one hour prior to the nominal sounding time in accordance with routine
practice at NWS stations and the procedure used at PLA and FMC, i.e., the 0000
and 1200 sondes are here defaulted to 1100 and 2300.  It should be noted that
1115 and 2315 may be more representative of actual NWS operations.  The nominal
sounding time and date are given in the ASCII header record to each data file
while the actual or default launch time and corresponding date are given in each
data record, e.g., 0000 GMT on 10-28 and 2315 GMT on 10-27, respectively.
Elapsed time since launch is given at all data levels, except for WAU where it
was not available to me.  Temporal resolution during the profile is determined
by the ascent rate and barometric switch design of the sonde for the NWS sondes.
For the Vasiala sondes, the raw thermodynamic data were available at about  2
second intervals.  This resolution was significantly reduced during data
processing as described below (spatial characteristics: vertical resolution).
SPATIAL CHARACTERISTICS:
HORIZONTAL RESOLUTION:
Includes data obtained from seven National Weather Service stations located at:
  Green BAY, WI             (GRB, SITE = 72645 AT 44 29'N, 88 08'W AND 210 M),
  St. ClOUD, MN             (STC, SITE = 72655 AT 45 33'N, 94 04'W AND 315 M),
  Peoria, IL                (PIA, SITE = 72532 at 40 40'N, 89 41'W and 200 m),
  InternATIONAL FALLS,MN    (INL, SITE = 72747 AT 48 34'N, 93 23'W AND 359 M),
  Omaha, NE                 (OMA, SITE = 72553 AT 41 22'N, 96 01'W AND 400 M),
  Flint, MI                 (FNT, SITE = 72637 at 42 58'N, 83 44'W and 236 m),
  Sault Ste. Marie, MI      (SSM, SITE = 72734 at 46 28'N, 84 22'W and 221 m).
and three special FIRE Cirrus IFO rawinsonde stations located at:
  PlattvILLE, WI              (PLA, SITE = 100 AT 42 43'N, 90 22'W AND 311 M),
  Fort MCCOY, WI              (FMC, SITE = 200 AT 43 57'N, 90 44'W AND 256 M),
  Wausau, WI                  (WAU, SITE = 300 at 44 56'N, 89 38 W and 366 m).
When available, the actual sonde location is given for each observation level
during each ascent.  Locations for NWS sondes were derived from the observed
azimuth and elevation angles (1 minute resolution) and computed heights (assumed
equal to geopotential heights) using a full spherical treatment.  Locations for
the Vasiala sondes were taken from the LORAN signal (about 1 minute resolution).
Linear interpolation in time was used to assign the locations to thermodynamic
observation levels given here.
It should be noted that LORAN locations are often erroneous at altitudes below
about 2 km.  Bad values have been removed when obvious.  No locations are given
for WAU, except the launch site, as the raw LORAN data were not available to me.
Locations at FMC also appear to have occasional problems, e.g., uncertainty in
the actual release point.
VERTICAL RESOLUTION:
The vertical resolution of the NWS sondes is determined by the barometric switch
design of the individual sondes.  The data was obtained in hard copy prior to
application of the standard NWS processor, i.e., the standard filter for
significant levels was not applied.  Thus, every data point was retained.
The vertical resolution of the processed PLA, FMC and WAU data given here is
5 mb below the 450 mb pressure level and 2.5 mb above, i.e., on the order of 50
meters throughout.
CALIBRATION INFO:
Efforts are currently underway to evaluate the accuracy of the pressure,
temperature and humidity observations by the types of sondes used here (GSFC/
Wallops Island).  In general, the accepted accuracies are RMS errors of 0.7 C
for temperature and 6 to 15 % in relative humidity. The humidity errors increase
at low humidities and cold temperatures.  Wind observations are generally
believed to be accurate to within 5 m/s and 5 degrees azimuth.
NOTE: A number of derived parameters are given with the basic observations.
Some, e.g., lapse rate and vertical wind speed shear, are useful quality or
interest indicators.  Other parameters are given for the users convenience.  The
derived moisture parameters, e.g., frost point temperatures, preserve the
information of the observations to a very high precision.
NOTE: The NWS data was hand entered in order to preserve maximum resolution.
Thus, some errors likely remain although a substantial effort was made to find
and correct these typos.
NOTE: No attempts to systematically filter the thermodynamic data have been
performed here.  Thus, seemingly unreasonable lapse rates do occur in the data,
e.g., super-adiabatic layers, which often indicate exit of a cloud layer
(wet-bulbing).
NOTE: No surface observations were taken at FMC. On some launches, it is obvious
that the first data level is well above the surface.  On others, the lowest
reported level appears reasonable as a surface observation.  Thus, this data
must be used with caution, especially with respect to the computed geopotential
heights.
