Weather balloon radiosondes for Valentia Observatory, Ireland (2012)

Molar density (D, mol/m3), temperature (T, K) and horizontal wind speed (m/s) measurements versus pressure (Pa) recorded by weather balloon radiosondes launched two to four times a day from Valentia Observatory, Ireland in 2012. The black vertical dashed lines indicate the troposphere/tropopause phase change discussed in:
