NCAR Mobile GAUS (MGAUS) Rawinsonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/97.023

Summary
The goal of the Cumulus Photogrammetric, In-Situ and Doppler Observations
(CuPIDO) project was to examine the onset and development of orographic
thunderstorms associated with the North American Monsoon using surface
stations, digital visible spectrum cameras, soundings and aircraft data. For
this study NCAR/EOL deployed two mobile sounding systems to the mountainous
region of Southern Arizona just north of Tucson. Soundings were made from
various locations. Ninety-six radiosonde launches were performed between July
17 and August 17, 2006.
