5mb Vertical Resolution Sounding Composite [NCAR/EOL]

Summary

This PLOWS 2008-2009 5 mb Vertical Resolution Sounding Composite dataset contains upper-air sounding data interpolated to a constant vertical resolution of 5 hPa in the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Earth Observing Laboratory (EOL) Sounding Composite Format. This dataset contains 979 soundings from stations in the following networks in the Profiling of Winter Storms 2008-2009 (PLOWS 2008-2009) domain: NCAR Mobile Integrated Sounding System (MISS) GPS Advanced Upper-Air Sounding System (GAUS) Rawinsonde Data; National Weather Service (NWS) Rawinsonde Data; and University of Missouri Mobile Rawinsonde Data. The datasets covers the time period 1 February 2009 through 31 March 2009.
