Get latest RAOB radiosonde soundings as GeoJSON.
Returns a GeoJSON FeatureCollection of RAOB (radiosonde) vertical soundings ingested from MADIS. By default returns the latest sounding per station within the last 24 hours. hours switches to every sounding in the last hours hours (1-24), newest first. station limits the result to every sounding from that station in the window (the last 24 hours unless hours is set).
Heavy profile and wind_profile arrays are stripped from bulk responses to keep payloads small for map overlays. Use /v1/soundings/nearest to fetch the full vertical profile for a specific site.
Each feature retains station_id, observed_at, elevation_m, level_count, wind_level_count, and the derived indices object (see /v1/soundings/nearest for field descriptions), plus valid_time, the sounding's valid time.
