NOAA/NWS (6-sec vertical levels) Rawinsonde
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/87.002

Summary
This data set contains rawinsonde profiles from the National Weather Service
(NWS) station in San Juan, Puerto Rico archived during the Rain in Cumulus
Over the Ocean (RICO) project. During RICO, 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 contolled by the Joint Office of Science
Support (JOSS). Consult the README for more information.
