Multi-Network Composite 5mb Vertical Resolution Sounding Composite
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/527.036

Summary
This data set contains a composite of upper air sounding data from all sources
for the Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Thunderstorms
Experiment-Southeast 2016 (VORTEX-SE_2016) project interpolated to 5hPa
vertical levels. The composite includes 1488 soundings from all VORTEX-SE 2016
sounding systems (Purdue, ULM, NOAA/ATD, MSU iMet, MSU WindSond, and TTU) as
well as from the National Weather Service.
