High Plains Climate Network [HPCN]
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/114.100

Summary
This data set contains the High Plains Climate Network (HPCN) hourly surface
data for the VORTEX2 2009 and 2010 field phases for approximately May-June
2009 and May-June 2010. Data are provided in month files by station for 125
stations within Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana,
Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota. The following parameters are included
in these data: Air Temperature, Relative Humidity, Soil Temperature, Wind
Speed, Wind Magnitude, Vect dir, Vect SD, Rad Flux, and Total precipitation.
The data are provided "as is" in their original format.
