NSF/NCAR G-V Dropsonde High Resolution Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/371.005

Summary
Dropsonde sounding data collected using the NCAR Airborne Vertical Atmospheric
Profiling System (AVAPS) on board the NSF/NCAR G-V aircraft. These data were
collected from 15 May to 15 June 2013 as part of the Mesoscale Predictability
Experiment (MPEX). 426 quality controlled soundings are available.

Versions
  1.0
  2.0: This dataset has been corrected for a temperature dependent dry bias and
the filenames have been changed.
  3.0: Version 3.0 was corrected for a temperature dependent relative humidity
and dewpoint dry bias. This is the most current version of the dataset.
