NWS Radiosonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/85.021

Summary
This data set contains rawinsonde profiles from 34 National Weather Service
(NWS) upper-air sites archived during the Bow Echo and Mesoscale Convenctive
Experiment (BAMEX). During BAMEX,rawinsondes were released twice daily at 00
and 12 UTC. 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. This data set
has been quality controlled by The Joint Office for Science Support (JOSS).
Consult the README for more information.
