NWS High Resolution Radiosonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/2.71

Summary
The GCIP/GIST 6-second NWS Soundings dataset contains high resolution sounding
data extracted from NWS MicroART Sounding systems at 12 sites in the GIST
domain. The dataset contains one sounding level every 6 seconds. These data
have been extensively quality-controlled, with every sounding subjected to
both computerized consistency checks and human visual review. This dataset
includes pressure, temperature, dew point, relative humidity, wind speed, wind
direction, and altitude.
