NWS Slidell GTS Mandatory/Significant Level Sounding Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/88.065

Summary
This is one of the upper air data sets developed for the Hurricane Rainband
and Intensity Change Experiment (RAINEX). It includes 56 mandatory /
significant level soundings from Slidell, LA site (WMO 72233). Soundings were
typically released twice per day (0000 and 1200 UTC) from 1 Aug to 29 Aug
2005. The high resolution soundings for the Slidell, LA site for the month of
August were lost due to Hurricane Katrina. The September high resolution data
for Slidell, LA is included in the NOAA/NWS Rawinsonde Data [NCAR/EOL] Data
Set.
