Millersville University Upper Air Radiosondes IMPACTS V1

Description

The Millersville University Upper Air Radiosondes IMPACTS dataset contains atmospheric temperature, dew point temperature, wind speed, and wind direction measurements using Vaisala’s Radiosonde RS41-SGP and Sparv Embedded S1H3 Windsond during the Investigation of Microphysics and Precipitation for Atlantic Coast-Threatening Snowstorms (IMPACTS) field campaign. IMPACTS was a three-year sequence of winter season deployments conducted to study snowstorms over the U.S Atlantic Coast (2020-2023). The campaign aimed to (1) Provide observations critical to understanding the mechanisms of snowband formation, organization, and evolution; (2) Examine how the microphysical characteristics and likely growth mechanisms of snow particles vary across snowbands; and (3) Improve snowfall remote sensing interpretation and modeling to significantly advance prediction capabilities. Data are available from January 16, 2022 through February 25, 2022 in ASCII format.
