Water vapor observation data of key sections in the tropical Indian Ocean (2020-2021)- A Big Earth Data Platform for Three Poles

1. The data content includes: year, month, day, hour, longitude, latitude, altitude, meridional (UQ) and latitudinal (VQ) components of water vapor flux;

2. Data source and processing method: GPS meteorological sounding data of voyages in the eastern Indian Ocean, and calculate water vapor flux through relative humidity, wind field, air pressure and altitude;

3. Data quality description: vertical continuous observation with 1 second vertical resolution;

4. Data application achievements and prospects: Study on the changes of water vapor transport in the tropical Indian Ocean;

File naming and required software

File name: the water vapor flux data is stored in text format. The file name is "yyyymmddhh. TXT. TXT", in which yyyy represents year, mm represents month, DD represents date and HH represents hour. For example, 2020092114.txt.txt represents this ASCII file to describe the observation status of Indian Ocean Station at 14:00 on September 21, 2020
Data reading method: all ASCII files in the data set can be opened directly with text programs (such as Notepad). The data content includes: year, month, day, hour, longitude, latitude, altitude, longitude (UQ) and latitude (VQ) components of water vapor flux
