NWS Oakland, CA High Resolution Radiosonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/68.054

Summary
The NWS High Resolution Oakland,CA Sounding Data is one of several upper air
data sets collected by the National Center For Atmospheric Research/Earth
Observing Laboratory (NCAR/EOL) as part of the Dynamics and Chemistry of
Marine Stratocumulus Phase II: Entrainment Studies (DYCOMS-II) project.
Included in the data set are pressure, temperature, relative humidity, U and V
wind components, and altitude measured during rawinsonde flights from the
National Weather Service upper air sounding site in Oakland ,California. The
data set covers the period from 7 - 28 July 2001. The soundings are typically
available twice per day at 00 and 12 UTC. NCAR/EOL has performed automated
quality control on this data set. See the README for more details.
