Radiosonde data from Polarstern cruises

Radiosonde data are routinely acquired from the Research Vessel Polarstern of Alfred-Wegener Institute, Bremerhaven, during research cruises.

• Table of past Polarstern cruises (since 1998): http://www.awi-bremerhaven.de/php/ResearchPlatform/Display.php?year=*&type=ship&name=polarstern
• Graphical Interface for Data from Polarstern: http://www.awi-bremerhaven.de/MET/Polarstern/GraphInter.html
• Radiosonde Data: Vaisala RS80 data, 2 types:
  • mean pressure levels (100 profiles can be retrieved at a time)
  • full height resolution (5 profiles can be retrieved at a time)

Retrieved data are as ASCII tables, with some html-formatted description and a link to a quicklook of each profile. All retrieved profiles are in one file.

Moreover, there are data from Koldewey-Station, Svalbard, also available via web interface on AWI web site (http://www.awi-bremerhaven.de/MET/index.html) Some data also available within IUP, so they do not have to be downloaded from AWI.
