MAPS MOLTS Derived Soundings
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/21.015

Summary
The GCIP/EOP MAPS MOLTS Derived Soundings data set contains NOAA/FSL MAPS
Model Location Time Series (MOLTS) derived soundings from up to 489 locations
over North America. These output are only for the initial analysis time (i.e.
no forecast derived soundings) and only the state parameters (pressure,
temperature, dew point, relative humidity, wind speed, and wind direction).
The complete output (including hourly forecast derived soundings with all
surface and upper level parameters) in the original BUFR format are available
from NCAR/SCD. This data set currently consists only of output from June 1997
to March 23,2001. However output from September 9th thru November 11th, 2000
is missing. See the README file for more details.
