Hi Sam,

I think I've found some information regarding model sounding data.  
For the sounding data, I believe that is also available from NCEI.  You can 
start here:
https://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/data/nccf/com/ 

Find the particular model you are looking for and then drill down by date/run 
to get 
the list of products.  For example, the latest from GFS:
https://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/data/nccf/com/gfs/prod/gfs.20200812/12/

In there you will see various bufr "files".  You can also see this with HRRR:
https://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/data/nccf/com/hrrr/prod/hrrr.20200812/conus/
In particular the bufrsnd.*/ directories.

I believe all the bufr files with "snd" are the sounding data.

Let me know if this is helpful at all.
Thanks!
