NSF/NCAR G-V Dropsonde High Resolution Data

The National Center for Atmospheric Research/Earth Observing Laboratory (NCAR/EOL) operated a dropsonde system on-board the NSF/NCAR G-V aircraft during the Mesoscale Predictability Experiment (MPEX) during the period from 15 May to 14 June 2013. Soundings were taken intermittently as determined by the weather situation, with a focus on the pre-convective and convectively disturbed environments near deep convective storms in the central United States. This data set includes a total of 426 quality controlled, high vertical resolution (0.25 second) soundings are contained in the final MPEX data set.
