All the Dynasonde since November 1992 are now archived on CD-ROM. For a complete list see CD-ROM . About 1-3 months of data fit on a CD-ROM depending on frequency and type of Dynasonde operation. One copy is sent to RAL in the UK where they have a good set of analysis and display software.
The following list is now obsolete.
The obsolete list below was last updated by Mike
Rietveld on 26 Oct 1996.
The following is a brief description of the contents of the various DOS directories of containing soundings. The contents of these directories were saved as tar files to Exabyte and DAT tapes whose contents are also given in a tape summary. The names below are linked to name.dir files which contain the sounding name, the size in bytes, the date they were recorded and the time they were recorded. These lists were made using the DOS DIR command before the soundings were recorded to tape and subsequently removed from the hard disk.
