Summary:	The archive comprises over 1.2 million vertical soundings of temperature, pressure, humidity, and wind, representing all available rawinsonde ascents from Arctic land stations north of 65⁰ N from the beginning of record. For most stations, the record begins in 1958, but for a few stations, particularly Canadian stations, the record begins in 1948. Data is stored in ASCII format.
