FASTEX soundings from the Aegir (Icelandic Coast Guard Ship)
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/2.186

Summary
This dataset consists of sounding data from the Aegir, an Icelandic Coast
Guard Ship (ID TFTA). Soundings were taken four times per day (00, 06, 12, and
18 UTC) except during selected IOPs when it was up to 16 times per day (90 min
intervals). 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 10 second vertical
intervals. Refer to the station README for details.
