FASTEX soundings from Keflavic (Iceland)
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/2.165

Summary
This dataset consists of sounding data from Keflavic in Iceland (WMO 04018)
which was operated by the Iceland Meteorological Office. Soundings were taken
four times per day (00, 06, 12, and 18 UTC). These data were processed through
automated and visual quality control. This dataset includes pressure,
temperature, dew point, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and
altitude taken at 5 second vertical intervals up to 480 seconds, and 10 second
vertical intervals after 480 seconds. Refer to the station README for details.
