Radiosonde measurements were made over the Chilean Antarctic Research Station, Professor Julio Escudero, on King George Island. The research platform at Escudero is supported by the Instituto Antártico Chileno (INACH).
There is one file per radiosounding, from 2017/01/12 – 2023/08/10 in text format. No measurements are included for 2020 or 2021 due to station closures.
File names have the form esc_sonde_v2_YYYYMMDDHH.txt, where esc stands for Escudero and v2 indicates version 2.
The file header is 5 lines long, with the last two lines giving the column labels and units: time (TimeUTC; hh:mm:ss), pressure (P; hPa), height (HeightMSL; m), temperature (Temp; DegC), relative humidity (RH; %), dewpoint temperature (Dewp; DegC), wind direction (Dir; Degrees), and wind speed (Speed; Knots).
