FASTEX 5-millibar Resolution Sounding Composite
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/2.233

Summary
This data set consists of a composite of all FASTEX sounding data interpolated
to 5-millibar vertical levels collected from the 45 platforms in the
experiment domain. This data set includes pressure, temperature, dew point,
relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and altitude. Refer to the
README file for details. Refer to the individual station README files for
details on the processing conducted on individual sites.
