GHRC DAAC staff have published a new version of the dropsonde dataset from the Genesis and Rapid Intensification Processes (GRIP) campaign in 2010. The GRIP DC-8 Dropsonde V3 dataset (DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.5067/GRIP/DROPSONDE/DATA202) corrects a temperature dependent dry bias in the relative humidity measurements that was discovered in all dropsondes (RD94) and mini-dropsondes (NRD94) collected from 2010 to present. All files have had a correction applied to the RH measurements and dewpoint temperatures have been recomputed as well.
