Open data from lightweight stratospheric balloons in Illinois

Sharing a project from Aerostratospheric, an Illinois nonprofit. UOGW (Unified Open Global Weather) curates public surface, marine, upper air, space weather, and satellite indexes into one versioned JSON library on GitHub, and adds first party data from our Casey, Illinois ground station and research balloon flights.
