FP4 NCAR/EOL QC Soundings
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/485.015

Summary
This dataset contains 109 quality-controlled radiosonde data files, in the EOL
sounding format. These data were collected during the PECAN field campaign at
the fixed Integrated Sounding System (ISS) site in Minden, NE. This site was
known as Fixed PECAN Integrated Sounding Array 4 (FP4) during the project.
