NOAA/NWS Rawinsonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/97.021

Summary
This is one of the upper air data sets developed for the Cumulus
Photogrammetric, In-Situ and Doppler Observations (CuPIDO) project. This data
set includes 631 high vertical resolution (6-second) soundings from 5 National
Weather Service (NWS) rawinsonde stations in the southwest United States and
378 high vertical resolution (1-second) soundings from the 3 NWS rawinsonde
stations in the southwest United States for the period 01 July to 31 August
2007. The soundings were typically released twice a day (0000 and 1200 UTC).
This data set was not quality controlled by NCAR/EOL.
