TWERLE Southern Hemisphere Drifting Balloon Data, 75Jun13-76Aug09
|
|
This dataset contains data from the Tropospheric Wind Earth
Radio Location Experiment (TWERLE) constant-level balloons over
the Southern Hemisphere for June 1975 to August 1976. The
balloon measurements were taken at pressures near 150mb and
include temperature and wind.
