Iceland Greenland seas Project (IGP): Upper air sounding: Profiles of temperature, pressure, humidity, wind speed and wind direction

This dataset contains upper air sounding profiles of temperature, pressure, humidity, wind speed and wind direction measurements from the NCAS Vaisala Sounding Station unit 2 radiosonde lauches. The radiosondes were launched over Greenland and Iceland from the Alliance research ship for the Iceland Greenland seas Project (IGP).

The Iceland Greenland seas Project (IGP) was an international project involving the UK, US a Norwegian research communities. The UK component was funded by NERC, under the Atmospheric Forcing of the Iceland Sea (AFIS) project (NE/N009754/1)
