NSF/NCAR GV Dropsonde Data [NCAR/EOL]
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/126.012

Summary
During PREDICT the NSF/NCAR Gulfstream-V aircraft released EOL/AVAPS
dropsondes over the Atlantic basin during the months of August and September
2010. This data set has undergone NCAR/EOL quality control, see the readme for
details.
