National Weather Service High Resolution Radiosonde Data https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/541.006 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_2017 NWS soundings released at 10 sites throughout the southeastern United States during the VORTEX-SE_2017 field phase (1 March to 8 May 2017). A total of 1430 quality-controlled, high vertical resolution (1-second) soundings are contained in the final VORTEX-SE_2017 data set.
