National Weather Service High Resolution Radiosonde 2016 Hurricane Matthew
Data Set
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/488.019

Summary
The National Weather Service (NWS) routinely releases radiosondes at 00 and 12
UTC with occasional special releases at sites throughout the United States.
This data set includes the quality controlled, Tropical Convection
Intensification and Structure Experiment (TCI) NWS soundings released at sites
that released special radiosondes during the course of Hurricane Matthew. Data
are included from 20 NWS stations around the southeastern United States during
the entire life cycle of Matthew from 28 September to 9 October 2016. A total
of 604 quality- controlled, high vertical resolution (1-second) soundings are
contained in the final TCI 2016 Hurricane Matthew data set.
