RAOB Data Types

BUFKIT Forecast Soundings: Display hourly sequential soundings used by the popular BUFKIT program, including the ability to merge SREF Member data groups. See capability to download/FTP up to 5,000 BUFKIT files at one time.
RAOB CSV format: This is a highly versatile, spreadsheet-style format with multiple data format options and allows over 10,000 data levels per sounding. Options exist to include ozone, cloud data, vertical motion, and other sounding parameters.
