NSF/NCAR GV (HIAPER) QC Dropsonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/487.020

Summary
Dropsonde sounding profiles collected between June 1 and Aug 12, 2015 during
the CSET (Cloud System Evolution in the Trades) campaign. These data are
provided in the EOL format and have been quality controlled.

Versions
  1.0: Final, QC'd data.
  1.1: Fixed a header that flagged data as preliminary.
  2.0: Error in post-processing code reduced data from quarter second to
half-second resolution in previous version. This has been fixed in
version 2.0
  3.0: This version represents final, QC'd data that includes the proper
header, filenames, and a dry bias correction. This dataset is the most
current as of 27 Jul 2016.
  4.0: This is version 4 of the CSET dropsonde data and includes a RH dry bias
correction and dew point recalcuation.This version also removes an
incorrect 'preliminary' flag in the header.
