FASTEX soundings from Lajes (Portugal;Azores)
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/2.220

Summary
This dataset consists of sounding data from Lajes in the Azores (Portugal)
(WMO 08508) which was operated by INMG). Soundings were taken two times per
day (00 and 12 UTC) in January and four times per day (also 06 and 18 UTC) in
February. 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 variable vertical
intervals. Refer to the station README for details.
