GTS Mandatory/Significant Level Sounding Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/567.004

Summary
This data set includes the quality controlled GTS soundings for two High Ice
Water Content (HIWC) Radar 2018 observational periods and regions. The first
was around Florida for the period of 30 July to 12 August 2018 and the second
was across southern California, Baja, and Hawaii for the period 11-30 August
2018. This data set includes only those stations in the regions for which high
vertical resolution data were not available. Those stations with high
resolution data are available in a separate data set. A total of 281
quality-controlled, mandatory and significant level resolution soundings are
contained in the final data set.
