SOAS Quality Controlled ISS Radiosonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/373.032

Summary
The National Center for Atmospheric Research/Earth Observing Laboratory
(NCAR/EOL) operated a GPS Advanced Upper-air Sounding System (GAUS) radiosonde
system as part of its Integrated Sounding System (ISS) site at the Southern
Oxidant and Aerosol Study (SOAS) National Weather Service (NWS) site which was
located near the Centerville (CTR), Alabama super site. Soundings were
typically released twice daily at 15 and 21 UTC from 30 May to 15 July 2013.
There were some periods of more intensive sounding operations. This SAS final
data set includes a total of 105 quality controlled, high vertical resolution
(1-second) soundings.
