MP4 NCAR/EOL QC Soundings
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/485.014

Summary
This dataset contains 113 quality-controlled radiosonde data files, in the EOL
sounding format. These data were collected during the PECAN field campaign by
the EOL Mobile GPS Atmospheric Upper-Air Sounding System (MGAUS). The MGAUS
was generally collocated with the Mobile Integrated Sounding System (MISS),
and these were collectively know as Mobile PECAN Integrated Sounding Array 4
(MP4) during the project.
