Title

FASTEX 5-millibar Resolution Sounding Composite

Alternative title(s)

2.233

Abstract

This data set consists of a composite of all FASTEX sounding data interpolated to 5-millibar vertical levels collected from the 45 platforms in the experiment domain. This data set includes pressure, temperature, dew point, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and altitude. Refer to the README file for details. Refer to the individual station README files for details on the processing conducted on individual sites.
