NCAR/EOL Quality Controlled MW41 Radiosonde Data (NetCDF)
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/547.001

Summary
Quality controlled radiosonde data collected by the NCAR/EOL Integrated
Sounding System (ISS), using a Vaisala MW41 sounding system that was located
on the Dugway Proving Ground in Utah during the Instabilities, Dynamics, and
Energetics accompanying Atmospheric Layering (IDEAL) field campaign. This
project marked ISS's first deployment of the RS-41 radiosonde from Vaisala. In
total, 93 radiosonde data files are contained in this archive in NetCDF
format.
