BEACH dropsonde dataset (Level 3)

This dataset is the Level 3 BEACH dataset. It contains quality controlled dropsonde data from the ORCESTRA field campaign with a common altitude dimension. All thermodynamic and dynamic variables are (re-)calculated consistently within the dataset and integrated quantities such as integrated water vapour are added. As such, the Level 3 dataset is the core dataset of BEACH and should be the default for any analysis. It is based on BEACH Level 2 datasets of single sonde profiles. Aggregated QC information can be found in the `sonde_qc` variables and further details are stored in the separate Level_3_QC dataset or respective Level 2 datasets. For analyses using the time, refer to the BEACH Level 2. Circle products, like mesoscale divergence and vertical velocity can be found in BEACH Level 4.
