Vandenberg AFB Radiosonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/371.007

Summary
The United States Air Force (USAF) routinely releases radiosondes once per day
at 12 UTC from its site at Vandenberg Air Force Base (AFB) in Southern
California (WMO ID 72393). This data set includes the soundings released
during the MPEX field phase (15 May to 15 June 2013). A total of 31 quality
controlled, high resolution (~30 m) soundings are contained in the final MPEX
data set.
