North Las Vegas Airport

Integrated Upper-Air Monitoring Station

The Clark County Department of Air Quality and Environmental Management (DAQEM) upper-air monitoring station is comprised of a Vaisala radar wind profiler, AeroVironment (now ASC) sodar, and a Radiometrics profiling radiometer. Software developed by T&B Systems is used to automatically compile collected data into hourly averages and format the information into files compatible with the RAOB display software. These data are posted hourly to this site and are available using the data links below. The information provides an effective rawinsonde sounding every hour with wind profiles from the surface to 3 kilometers AGL and temperature and humidity profiles to 10 kilometers AGL.

Each of the below instruments provides its own format of the data collected. Clicking on the image will open the graphic in the same window. Use the back button to return here. The graphical displays provide the data to approximately 4km AGL.
