FASTEX soundings from Lerwick (United Kingdom)
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/2.199

Summary
This dataset consists of sounding data from Lerwick in the United Kingdom (WMO
03005) which was operated by the UK Meteorological Office. Soundings were
taken four times per day (00, 06, 12, and 18 UTC) except during selected IOPs
when it was up to eight per day (also 03, 09, 15, and 21 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 two second vertical intervals. However, for
most of the 06 and 18 UTC soundings the winds were taken at only 20 or 60
second vertical intervals. Refer to the station README for details.
