National Weather Service High Resolution Radiosonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/527.005

Summary
The National Weather Service (NWS) routinely releases radiosondes at 00 and 12
UTC with occasional special releases at sites throughout the United States.
This data set includes the quality controlled VORTEX-SE_2016 NWS soundings
released at 10 sites throughout the southeastern United States during the
VORTEX-SE_2016 field phase (1 March to 2 May 2016). A total of 1280
quality-controlled, high vertical resolution (1-second) soundings are
contained in the final VORTEX-SE_2016 data set.
