CSU Mobile Radiosonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/541.020

Summary
This data set contains vertical profiles of pressure, temperature, relative
humidity, wind speed, and wind direction from the Colorado State University
(CSU) mobile radiosonde system during the VORTEX-SE 2017 field season. CSU
released a total of 32 radiosondes from locations around northern Alabama on
21, 25-28 March and 3, 5, 27, 28, and 30 April and 1 May 2017. These data are
available in either the Vaisala RS-41 EDT columnar ASCII format or the
columnar ASCII EOL Sounding Composite (ESC) Format.
