National Weather Service High Resolution Radiosonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/547.007

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 NWS soundings released at nine
sites around Salt Lake City, Utah during the IDEAL (Instabilities, Dynamics
and Energetics accompanying Atmospheric Layering) project's field phase (15
October to 15 November 2017). A total of 585 quality-controlled, high vertical
resolution (1-second) soundings are contained in the final IDEAL NWS
radiosonde data set.
