NSF/NCAR GV HIAPER Dropsonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/379.036

Summary
NCAR/EOL Dropsonde sounding profiles from on the NSF/NCAR Gulfstream-V HAIPER
aircraft in the region around New Zealand as part of the DEEPWAVE field
project. Dropsondes were released as requested during the field phase. A total
of 282 quality-controlled, high vertical resolution (0.25-second wind and 0.5
second pressure/temperature/humidity) soundings are contained in the final
DEEPWAVE data set.

Versions
  1.0: The EOL Dropsonde data has been converted to the EOL Sounding Composite
(ESC) format.
  2.0: This version corrects a temperature dependent dry bias that was present
in the Vaisala RD94 dropsonde relative humidity measurements. Both the
relative humidity and dew point values have been corrected.
