CMA is the Chinese Meterological Administration. Unfortunately, all the documentation I have is in Chinese. ;-) Here is a rough translation: Year, Month, Day, Hour, NumObs st_num lat(deg) lon(deg) alt(m) pr(hPa) hh(m) temp(degC) td(degC) wind_d(deg) wind_s(m/s) missing value is 99999.90 > I am trying to produce a sounding climatology - so it would be nice to have > an example of a sounding text file to follow. I've attached a sample CMA file. As you found out, we do support the ESRL netCDF format. I'll look at the text format to see what it would take to support that.
