Temperature Profiles: Radiosonde (FIFE)

Published by ORNL_DAAC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: November 01, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-09-11
The temperature profile data included in this data set was derived from the FIFE radiosonde data collected during the summer and fall of 1987 and the late summer of 1989 by Dr. Wilfred H. Brutsaert. These intensive radiosonde flights allowed the measurement of the atmospheric profiles of potential temperature and specific humidity. These data have been corrected for sensor delays, algorithm inconsistencies and have been interpolated to a set of standard pressure levels.
