SPARC Data Center informs on availability of radiosonde data

High resolution radiosonde data from US Radiosonde Replacement System (RRS) stations are now available directly from NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information at ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/rrs-data/. Data are available in BUFR format at 1-second resolution for all US stations from the time at which each station was upgraded to the RRS up to the present (earliest data available from 2005).

Radiosonde data at 6-second resolution from US stations prior to RRS upgrade are still available from the SPARC Data Center at http://www.aparc-climate.org/data-center/data-access/us-radiosonde/.
