Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

Would "sounding" be a useful alternative?

I and other atmospheric scientists use this when talking about data
taken to profile the atmosphere, either by a static instrument, e.g a
wind profiler, where you have regular vertical gridded data or data from
an ascending(descending) instrument e.g. a radiosonde, where the
vertical coordinate will not nec be regular and the observations point
is moving horizontally too.
