CaPE CLASS Sounding Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/2.1

Summary
NCAR's Cross Chain Loran Atmospheric Sounding System (CLASS) rawinsonde data
consist of vertical profiles of pressure, temperature, relative humidity and
wind speed/direction from a network of seven stations (6 fixed, 1 mobile). No
set schedule was used but often 3-hourly soundings from 1100- 2300 UTC. Final
datasets include 10 sec and interpolated 5 mb resolutions. Data is ordered by
the last 3 letters of the station location. Station tco data is in individual
raw ascii files from data taken during soundings. Most other stations have two
or three ascii files of comments, README or dailty data recovery rate
information, plus tar files of data.
