A standard single sounding profile from 
http://cfconventions.org/cf-conventions/cf-conventions.html#profile-data

has the structure:

dimensions:
      z = 42 ;

   variables:
      int profile ;
          profile:cf_role = "profile_id";

      double time;
          time:standard_name = "time";
          time:long_name = "time" ;
          time:units = "days since 1970-01-01 00:00:00" ;
      float lon;
          lon:standard_name = "longitude";
          lon:long_name = "longitude" ;
          lon:units = "degrees_east" ;
      float lat;
          lat:standard_name = "latitude";
          lat:long_name = "latitude" ;
          lat:units = "degrees_north" ;

      float z(z) ;
          z:standard_name = “altitude”;
          z:long_name = "height above mean sea level" ;
          z:units = "km" ;
          z:positive = "up" ;
          z:axis = "Z" ;  

      float pressure(z) ;
          pressure:standard_name = "air_pressure" ;
          pressure:long_name = "pressure level" ;
          pressure:units = "hPa" ;
          pressure:coordinates = "time lon lat z" ;

      float temperature(z) ;
          temperature:standard_name = "surface_temperature" ;
          temperature:long_name = "skin temperature" ;
          temperature:units = "Celsius" ;
          temperature:coordinates = "time lon lat z" ;

      float humidity(z) ;
          humidity:standard_name = "relative_humidity" ;
          humidity:long_name = "relative humidity" ;
          humidity:units = "%" ;
          humidity:coordinates = "time lon lat z" ;

   attributes:
      :featureType = "profile";

Your data is very similar to this, would you be able to use this format to 
store your data?
