Description
This dataset contains ten vertical atmospheric profiles collected in Upstate New York (Fort Drum) with balloon-based radiosondes during the April 2024 solar eclipse. The data includes static air pressure, static air temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed and direction, latitude and longitude. Acquired by balloon-based Graw radiosondes under the FireSense Nationwide Eclipse Ballooning project, these high-resolution observations of atmospheric state variables are critical for analyzing transport and mixing processes. This dataset offers key insights into how atmospheric structure evolves in response to the eclipse. The measurements were made between the surface and approximately 28 km Mean Sea Level (MSL). The data are provided in the International Consortium for Atmospheric Research on Transport and Transformation (ICARTT) format.
