Summary

This homogenized monthly radiosonde data had been prepared within the project MOSQUITO/MiKlip, in order to generate dataset for decadal climate model validation. The data is based on 12 German radiosonde stations. Monthly means are only taken if more than 8 data per month (separately for day-time and night-time soundings) is available. The temporal coverage of the dataset ranges from January 1950 until November 2014.
