FASTEX soundings from the NOAA P-3 dropsondes
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/2.182

Summary
This dataset consists of dropsondes from the NOAA P-3. Dropsondes were taken
as requested. These data were processed through an interpolation that included
the removal of bad data from the higher resolution data, automated, and visual
quality control. This dataset includes pressure, temperature, dew point,
relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and altitude taken at two
second vertical intervals. Refer to the station README for details.
