Purdue University Mobile Radiosonde Data https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/541.019 Summary This data set contains vertical profiles of pressure, temperature, mixing ratio, wind speed, and wind direction from the University of Purdue mobile radiosonde system during the VORTEX-SE 2017 field season. Purdue released a total of 18 radiosondes from locations around northern Alabama on 25, 27, 28, and 30 March; 3, 5, 27, 28, and 30 April; and 1 May 2017. These data are available in either the original columnar ASCII format provided by Purdue or the EOL Sounding Composite Format.
