PSU NARHWAL Windsond Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/651.004

Summary
Vertical profiles of temperature, relative humidity and winds from the
Pennsylvania State University NARHWAL Windsond system that was deployed at
locations around the United States plains region for the ICECHIP (In-situ
Collaborative Experiment for the Collection of Hail In the Plains) campaign.

Windsonds were released during ICECHIP IOPs into near-storm and in-updraft
environments. There were also a few pre-convective initiation comparison
tests.
