National Weather Service High Resolution Radiosonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/561.012

Summary
This data set includes the quality controlled GRAINEX NWS soundings released
at nine sites throughout the Upper Midwestern United States during the GRAINEX
field phase (30 May - 31 July 2018). Two stations in the region were only
available at mandatory/significant level resolution (KDVN - Davenport, IA and
KTOP - Topeka, KS) and are available in a separate data set. A total of 1173
quality-controlled, high vertical resolution (1-second) soundings are
contained in the final GRAINEX data set.
