NWS High-Resolution Radiosonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/38.006

Summary
This is one of the upper air sounding data sets developed for the GEWEX
Continental-Scale International Project (GCIP) Large Scale Area - North West
(LSA-NW) Enhanced Annual Observing Period 2000 (EAOP-00) conducted from 01
April 2000 to 31 March 2001. The LSA-NW domain extends from 90W to 115W
longitude and 36N to 51N latitude. Included in this data set are 17 National
Weather Service (NWS) rawinsonde stations in the LSA-NW domain. The soundings
were typically released at 00 and 12 UTC, however, several stations had
additional releases. The final data set includes pressure, dry bulb
temperature, dew point temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and
direction, at 6-sec vertical resolution. Consult the readme file for further
information.
