TOGA COARE soundings derived from NCAR Electra flight level data

This dataset consists of soundings derived from National Center for Atmospheric Research Electra flight level data. Data were taken during events of opportunity. The data were processed through the visual quality control process. The automated and spatial quality control processes were not conducted on this dataset. This dataset includes pressure, temperature, dew point, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and altitude taken at five second intervals along the flight path. Refer to the station README file for details.
