METCRAX QC Radiosonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/158.001

Summary
The Meteor Crater Experiment (METCRAX) is a 3-year meteorological research
program whose purpose is to investigate the structure and evolution of
temperature inversions or cold-air pools that form on a daily basis in
topographic basins and valleys. For this study NCAR/EOL deployed one
Integrated Sounding System (ISS) approximately 35 miles East of Flagstaff AZ
and 3 miles North East of an impact crater known as Meteor Crater. EOL also
set up four surface towers in the base of the crater. For more information on
these towers please visit, http://www.eol.ucar.edu/rtf/projects/metcrax/isff/.
Forty-nine radiosonde launches were performed from the ISS site between
October 7 and October 31, 2006. For more information on the METCRAX project
