Canadian GTS Sounding Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/107.035

Summary
This data set contains the mandatory and significant level radiosonde data
from 33 Canadian radiosonde stations in the START08 region. These data were
grabbed from the NOAA ESRL/GSD Radiosonde data archive for the START08 period
(April through June 2008). Each file contains one month of data for all
stations. The data are in columnar ASCII. Please see the readme file for more
information.
