NWS High Resolution Radiosonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/77.007

Summary
This data set contains rawinsonde profiles from 14 National Weather Service
(NWS) upper-air sites archived during the International H2O Project 2002 (IHOP
2002). During IHOP 2002,rawinsondes were released twice daily at 00 and 12 UTC
augmented by additional releases during intensive observing periods(IOP). The
data files consist of vertical profiles of temperature, dew point, relative
humidity, u and v wind components, total wind speed, wind direction, and
altitude. The vertical resolution is six seconds, i.e, data was recorded every
six seconds during the sonde's ascent. This data set has been quality
controlled by The Joint Office of Science Support (JOSS). Consult the README
for more information.
