Please see attached document.

To move the review process along, I have assigned myself as a reviewer following journal policy.

Overall, I find that the manuscript is well-written and that data and data description are useful to the community.

I recommend to consider the following issues:

1. I am not sure I missed this, but could you make sure that you clarify in the text what the reference for above sea level is and how (if at all this might be different from the actual height above the surface). 

L 80: Please provide additional calibration and correction information about the instruments. Either here or in other suitable locations

L131: "The accuracy of the three wind speed components is better than 0.2 m s−1" > Please expand on how this is known.

Table 2 and 3: I suggest o provide measures of variation during flight legs on altitude, wind speed, and wind direction. Also, specify that satellite overpass time is UTC for completion. 

Figure 4a: Are all of these data from the same altitude or does this include profiles? Please provide additional information in figure legends (or filter for constant altitude). Also, it appears that the large marker size obscures some spatial patterns. I am unsure how this can be avoided practically, but a smaller marker or data gridding might help.

Figure 5. Same comments about the turns. It would be good to establish, why wind speeds at the turns appear different than within the legs. Altitude changes or profiles would be a simple explanation.

Figures 6, 7, 8, 10. I am not sure that the histograms in the back are helpful. They certainly should have an associated legend if kept. I would recommend either performing a more meaningful binning or presenting a smaller number of histograms from representative heights in separate subplots. One should also consider conversion to potential temperature. 

Figure 7: I am a bit confused about the lapse rate. A zero lapse rate in potential temperature would mean neutral. T would be a confusing variable name choice for potential temperature. I suggest clarifying this in the text and also within the figure legend.
