Ozone Profiler Data, Part of the Met Office MetDB System

The ozone profiler data describes weekly measurements reported by an ozonesonde at a fixed land station at Lerwick. The dataset contains atmospheric profiles of ozone concentrations. The data are measured from the surface to up to 40 km, and transmitted from the ozonesonde via a radio link to a ground receiving station.

    Message Tables

    The Met Office MetDB holds data from a variety of different message types covering observations from satellites, profiling instruments (e.g. radiosondes and wind profilers) and surface based observations (e.g land meteorological recording stations). The BADC has obtained access to an number of the message types that should be of greatest use to the atmospheric research community and the data are stored in a the BADC-CSV format, which is comma separated, plain text, "human" readable and self describing.

    The following message types are available through the BADC. Follow the links to see the appropriate table detailing the elements within each message type:

    Message Name

    Description & Link

    AMDARs

    Aircraft Meteorological Data Relay

    LNDSYN

    Land based SYNOP messages

    RASS

    Radio Acoustic Sounding System messages

    SHPSYN

    Ship based SYNOP messages (including buoy and fixed platform)

    WINPRO

    Wind profiler observations

    File Format

    The data are held in the BADC-CSV file format, each of which will contain one or more data records and are comma separated variables. "Metadata" are provided giving a full description of the content of the data. More information about the file format can be found on the BADC-CSV format page, which also contains two example files taken from the MetDB dataset.

    As the data are held as comma separated variable the file should load automatically into programmes such as Microsoft Excel. Alternatively see the following webguide on how to read a text file into Excel:

Statement
Data are extracted from the Met Office's "metDB" system and supplied to BADC. These are then processed to generate BADC-CSV files, where possible. METARS and CLIMAT message types are stored as original message types only within http://data.ceda.ac.uk/badc/ukmo-metdb/raw
