cops_asaf_dsonde_metpro_d: dropsonde data from SAFIRE F20 aircraft

Flamant, Cyrille

Dataset
Summary
During COPS, the SAFIRE F20 was releasing Vaisala RD93 dropsondes.
It was only allowed to release dropsondes over the Northern black Forest during COPS and EUFAR missions.
A four channel Vaisala AVAPS receiving system was used to monitor and archive thermodynamical and dynamical variables.

More information on the dropsondes can be found at:
