National Weather Service High Resolution Radiosonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/548.040

Summary
This data set includes 1726 quality controlled NWS (National Weather Service)
soundings released at 14 sites throughout the western United States during the
WE-CAN (Western Wildfire Experiment for Cloud Chemistry, Aerosol Absorption
and Nitrogen) field phase (20 July to 19 September 2018). Thirteen of the
stations are available at 1-second vertical resolution (1608 soundings) and
one station is available at mandatory and significant level resolution (118
soundings).
