NWS Mandatory/Significant Level Radiosonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/86.001

Summary
This data set contains mandatory and significant level sounding data extracted
from the NOAA/FSL radiosonde database for 33 National Weather Service sites
over the central US (30-48N and 80-104W). The data cover the time period from
01 June to 31 July 2003. These data have not been changed or quality
controlled by NCAR/EOL.
