The BOREAS AFM-05 team collected and processed data from the numerous radiosonde flights during the project. The goals of the AFM-05 team were to provide large scale definition of the atmosphere by supplementing the existing AES aerological network, both temporally and spatially. This data set includes basic upper-air parameters collected from the network of upper-air stations during the 1993, 1994, and 1996 field campaigns over the entire study region.
A guide document which includes more information about this data set can be found at https://daac.ornl.gov/daacdata/boreas/AFM/aes_upl1/comp/AFM05_Upper_Air_L1.txt.
ORNL DAAC maintains information on the entire BOREAS Project.
