NOAA Wind and RASS Profiler Network Hourly Profiles
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/25.048

Summary
The SGP99 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Radio
Acoustic Sounding System (RASS) and 405 MHZ Wind Profiler Network Dataset
consists of merged hourly wind and virtual temperature profiles from ten NOAA
Profiler Network (NPN) sites. The profiles contain total wind speed, wind
direction, U and V wind components, altitude, and whenever a RASS profile was
available, virtual temperature. No additional quality control was performed.
When attempting to preview a profile, use altitude and either wind direction
or speed since pressure is always missing and virtual temperature is currently
not available for browsing. Please see the README for more details.
