FASTEX soundings from the NOAA Gulfstream IV (G-IV) dropsondes

This dataset consists of dropsonde data from the NOAA Gulfstream IV (G-IV). Dropsondes were taken as requested. These data were processed through an interpolation that included the removal of bad data from the higher resolution data, as well as automated, and visual quality control. These data include pressure, temperature, dew point, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and altitude taken at 2 second vertical intervals. Refer to the station README for details.
