FASTEX soundings from the Aegir (Icelandic Coast Guard Ship)

This dataset consists of sounding data from the Aegir, an Icelandic Coast Guard Ship (ID TFTA). Soundings were taken four times per day (00, 06, 12, and 18 UTC) except during selected IOPs when it was up to 16 times per day (90 min intervals). These data were processed through automated and visual quality control. This dataset includes pressure, temperature, dew point, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and altitude taken at 10 second vertical intervals. Refer to the station README for details.
