FASTEX soundings from Aberporth (United Kingdom)

This dataset consists of sounding data from Aberporth in the United Kingdom (WMO 03502) 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). This dataset includes pressure, temperature, dew point, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and altitude taken at two second vertical intervals. Refer to the station README for details.
