ITOP: Multi-Network Composite Highest Resolution Upper Air Data. Version 3.0

This data set is a composite of radiosondes and dropsondes collected from 2 dropsonde and 6 radiosonde platforms (see Section 2.3) during the Impact of Typhoons on the Ocean in the Pacific (ITOP) 2010 project with data collected from 1 August 2010 through 31 October 2010. This project was conducted in the western Pacific Ocean. This composite contains a total of 1753 high resolution soundings. Included are dropsondes from the DOTSTAR Astra Jet (94 dropsondes) and two United States Air Force C-130 (683 dropsondes) as well as radiosonde data from the US National Weather Service sites in Guam, Chuuk, Koror, Majuro, Ponape and Yap (976 radiosondes). All soundings are provided at the highest possible resolution (i.e., the 'native' resolution) and were quality controlled by NCAR/EOL. Data are available in the NCAR/EOL Sounding Composite Format (columnar ASCII).本数据集为2010年太平洋台风对海洋的影响（Impact of Typhoons on the Ocean in the Pacific, ITOP）项目期间采集的探空数据复合集，数据源自2个下投式探空仪（dropsonde）平台与6个无线电探空仪（radiosonde）平台（详见2.3节），采集时段为2010年8月1日至2010年10月31日，项目实施区域为西太平洋。该复合数据集总计包含1753条高分辨率探空廓线。其中下投式探空仪数据来自DOTSTAR Astra喷气式飞机（94条下投探空数据）与2架美国空军C-130运输机（683条下投探空数据）；无线电探空仪数据则取自关岛、楚克、科罗尔、马朱罗、波纳佩及雅浦的美国国家气象局站点，合计976条探空数据。所有探空廓线均以最高可行分辨率（即“原生”分辨率）提供，并已通过NCAR/EOL完成质量控制。数据以NCAR/EOL探空复合格式（柱状ASCII格式）对外发布。
