To optimize the simulation of the expected background or signals flux at each site, we [developed a method](https://doi.org/10.1139/cjp-2020-0561) to obtain the monthly-averaged local atmospheric profiles, obtained from the instantaneous [Global Data Assimilation System (GDAS)](https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/iso?id=gov.noaa.ncdc:C00379) profiles.
In this repository we storage the atmospheric profiles for all the LAGO sites described in the [LAGO DMP](https://lagoproject.github.io/DMP/), starting in January 2015. While it is not exclusive, it is mainly intended to be used within the [ARTI](https://github.com/lagoproject/arti) atmospheric radiation background toolsuite. Atmosheric instantaneous profiles need large storage and were not included in this public repository, but are available upon request. Please don't hesitate to [contact us](https://lagoproject.net/contact.html) for further requests or comments.
To optimize the simulation of the expected background or signals flux at each site, we developed a method to extract instantaneous GDAS atmospheric profiles and average them for each site. In this repository we storage the instantaneous and monthly averaged atmospheric profiles for all the sites described in the LAGO DMP, and it is intended to be used with ARTI.
Here we only included averaged profiles as instantaneous profiles need large storage. Please don't hesitate to contact us if your need some particular file.
