CSU SPURS2 Sounding Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/586.001

Summary
This dataset contains the level 3 and level 4 upper-air sounding data
collected during the Salinity Processes in the Upper-ocean Regional Study 2
(SPURS-2). Seventy nine soundings were conducted on the R/V Revelle and the
first deployment of the Colorado State University Sea-Pol radar. Please refer
to the documentation for more information.
