Sounding time series plots using NPOL and KUIL data creation date: 17 January 2017 direct questions to: Paul Ciesielski (paulc@atmos.colostate.edu) Notes: - Plots generated for 55 approximately 2-day periods starting at or near 23Z each day data were available - Each sounding time series covers a roughly 2 day period unless noted below. - Sounding time series file name format: olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_yyyymodd_HH.png where yyyymodd_HH indicates the start date/time for the time series - Blue vectors and times indicate KUIL soundings - Black vectors and times indicate NPOL soundings - NPOL soundings in 2015 cover period from 11 Nov. at 23Z to 19 Dec. at 05Z - KUIL soundings cover period from 28 Oct. 2015 to 16 Jan. 2016 with missing data from 17 to 28 Dec. 2016 due to a power outage - plots combine NPOL and KUIL sounding data unless otherwise noted (KUIL is ~77 km NNW of NPOL site) - plots used 25 hPa resolution data, wind barbs plotted every 50 hPa (if available) - RH and theta fields are linearly interpolated between sounding times - contour interval for RH is 10% and 3K for theta - RH compute with respect to ice for T < 0C - wind barbs are plotted in knots - skewt plots for any sounding time and station is available upon request - plots are in png format, postscript format is available upon request Listing of filenames Notes olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151111_23.png olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151112_23.png olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151113_23.png olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151114_23.png olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151115_23.png olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151116_23.png olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151117_23.png olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151118_23.png olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151119_23.png KUIL only olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151120_23.png KUIL only olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151121_23.png olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151122_23.png olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151123_23.png olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151124_23.png olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151125_23.png KUIL only olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151126_23.png KUIL only olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151127_23.png KUIL only olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151128_23.png olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151129_23.png olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151130_23.png olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151201_23.png olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151202_23.png olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151203_23.png olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151204_23.png olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151205_19.png olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151206_23.png olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151207_23.png olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151208_23.png olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151209_23.png olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151210_23.png olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151211_23.png olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151212_21.png olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151213_23.png olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151214_23.png olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151215_23.png olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151216_23.png olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151217_23.png NPOL only; < 2 days of data olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151228_23.png KUIL only olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151229_23.png KUIL only olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151230_23.png KUIL only olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20151231_23.png KUIL only olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20160101_23.png KUIL only olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20160102_23.png KUIL only olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20160103_23.png KUIL only olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20160104_23.png KUIL only olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20160105_23.png KUIL only olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20160106_23.png KUIL only olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20160107_23.png KUIL only olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20160108_23.png KUIL only olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20160109_23.png KUIL only olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20160110_23.png KUIL only olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20160111_23.png KUIL only olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20160112_23.png KUIL only olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20160113_23.png KUIL only olympex_upa_skewt_ts_snds_20160114_23.png KUIL only; < 2 days of data
