FASTEX soundings from the UK C-130 dropsondes https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/2.227 Summary This dataset consists of dropsonde data from the UK C-130 provided by the UK Meteorological Office. Dropsondes were taken as requested. These data underwent automated and visual quality control. These data include pressure, temperature, dew point, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and altitude taken at approximately 1.5 second vertical intervals. Refer to the station README for details.
