NCAR MGAUS Radiosonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/114.115

Summary
The Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment (VORTEX)
is a project aimed at investigating tornado genesis and examining tornado
structure and evolution using a suite of atmostpheric instruments. The VORTEX2
field campaigns included the use of four mobile GPS Advanced Upper_Air
Sounding (GAUS) systems. This dataset contains 105 radiosonde soundings
collected during the 2009 field campaign (May 11 - June 14, 2009) and 174
radiosonde soundings collected during the 2010 field campaign (May 6 - June
15, 2010) from two of the systems that were operated by the National Center
for Atmospheric Research (NCAR).
