NCAR/EOL Quality Controlled Dropsonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/552.010

Summary
109 quality controlled dropsonde soundings collected over the Southern Ocean
during the SOCRATES field campaign. The dropsondes were deployed from the NCAR
GV aircraft during twelve research flights conducted between Jan 19 and Feb
24, 2018.
