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.
