Sophisticated scaling/interpolatio n/smoothing techniques are employed to define profiles of the atmospheric thermodynamic state at 1-minute intervals and at 266 altitude levels. mergesonde handbook is available at: http://www.arm.gov/publications/tech_reports/handbooks/mergesonde_handbook.pdf 20060110 20061231 Completed None 2.174 2.174 13.477 13.477 science keywords Atmospheric Radiation Measurement DOE ARM ARM ARM Derived Product Atmospheric Profiling Atmospheric State surface meteorology upper air state Barometric pressure Relative humidity Temperature Vapor pressure Wind direction Wind speed Atmospheric pressure Atmospheric moisture Atmospheric temperature Horizontal wind nimmergesonde1maceM1.c1 Instrument ARM Merged Sounding Place Keywords nim.M1: Niamey, Niger; Mobile Facility ,Niamey, Niger David Troyan troyan@bnl.gov Mailing and Physical Address Upton NY 11973 USA N/A Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA ARM Archive User Services +1-865-241-4851 armarchive@ornl.gov url visualization Public image thumbnail Public Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program Data Sets. 1993-Ongoing.
