WMO Radiosonde data

These are kml files that show ballons of the WMO radiosondes for sites across the NOPAC and beyond for use in determining cloud heights from volcanic eruption clouds. The radiosondes are updated every 12 hrs from University of Wyoming site.

An example for Kljuchi, Kamchatka is ------------->

Combination of NWP and Actual Radiosondes

These are kml files that show ballons of the real and synthetic radiosondes for sites across the NOPAC and beyond for use in determining cloud heights from volcanic eruption clouds. The NWP data is updated every 6hrs and the actual radiosondes every 12 hrs from University of Wyoming site.
