United States National Weather Service High-Resolution Sounding Composite
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/14.001

Summary
This data set consists of six second vertical resolution sounding data for all
United States sounding locations. These sites were operated by the US National
Weather Service. Soundings were taken two times per day at 0000 and 1200 UTC.
These data have undergone the JOSS automated quality control procedure. See
the README for more information.
