NWS High Resolution (6 second) soundings
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/18.041

Summary
The GCIP/ESOP-98 6 second NWS soundings data set contains high resolution
sounding data extracted from NWS MicroART sounding systems at nine sites over
the GCIP LSA-North Central region. The data set contains one sounding level
every 6 seconds. These data have been extensively quality controlled, with
every sounding subject to automated consistency checks. No visual examination
was conducted on these soundings. Refer to the README file for more details.
