AMIE-Gan MMS Sondes

15 June 2011 - 8 April 2012

Lead Scientist: Chuck Long

Observatory: SDS, GAN

AMIE-Gan operations were unexpectedly discontinued on February 8, 2012. The Maldivian Meteorological Service (MMS) Office on Gan Island graciously resumed their sonde launches ahead of time to help gather the important atmospheric profiles at least for the campaign, and to share the high resolution sonde data with us. They have done so in the form of the "dc3db" raw Digicora files for each sonde that requires processing to match ARM sonde files.
