Description
These National Weather Service (NWS) raw upper air data contain individual flight data from sites monthly. Majority are Radiosonde Replacement System (RRS) sites, spanning about 7 to 72 degrees latitude and -171 to 172 degrees longitude. Data go back to 2005 to present operational flights and are packaged monthly. The RRS sites are currently the only ones generating individual flight data packages, each containing a "H" ASCII flight metadata file a "T" ASCII mandatory and significant levels observation file, and a "B" Binary Universal Form for the Representation of meteorological data (BUFR) encoded file of one-second resolution data.
These raw observations are inputs to NWS Radiosonde Standard Levels data (DSI 6301), where the data are encoded at each site using the World Meteorological Organization Binary Universal Form for the Representation of meteorological data (BUFR) format, then packaged with briefer ASCII formatted flight data and transmitted to NCEI via a push to NCEI's FTP from individual sites.
