Description
The BOREAS AFM-05 team collected and processed data from the numerous radiosonde flights during the project. The goals of the AFM-05 team were to provide large scale definition of the atmosphere by supplementing the existing AES aerological network, both temporally and spatially. This data set includes basic upper-air parameters interpolated at 0.5 kiloPascal increments of atmospheric pressure from data collected from the network of upper-air stations during the 1993, 1994, and 1996 field campaigns over the entire study region.
