Mobile PISA 3 UW/SSEC SPARC Radiosonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/485.033

Summary
The PECAN Mobile PISA (PECAN Integrated Sounding Array) 3 was the SSEC
Portable Atmospheric Research Center (SPARC) facility run by the University of
Wisconsin-Madison Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC). SPARC released
radiosondes at locations around the Central United States during some of the
PECAN Intensive Observation Periods (IOPs) and Unofficial Field Operations
(UFOs). This data set includes the 82 high vertical resolution (1-second),
quality controlled PECAN Mobile PISA 1 CLAMPS soundings released for the PECAN
field phase (2 June to 16 July 2015).
