CSU AMMA/NAMMA Sounding Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/500.002

Summary
This dataset contains the quality-controlled soundings from the NASA African
Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analyses (NAMMA/AMMA) project collected from 31 May
to 6 Nov 2006. The data are contained in one TAR/GNU Zip file, which also
contains a FORTRAN program for reading the upper-air sounding data files.
Please see the provided readme file for more information.
