Abstract

This dataset consists of sounding data from Stornoway in the United Kingdom (WMO 03026) 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 times per day (also 03, 09, 15, and 21 UTC). 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 two second vertical intervals. Refer to the station README for details.
