FASTEX soundings from the USAF C-130 dropsondes
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/2.194

Summary
This dataset consists of dropsonde data from the USAF C-130. Dropsondes were
taken as requested. These data were processed through automated and visual
quality control. These data include 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.
