Multi-Network Composite Highest Resolution Radiosonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/541.045

Summary
This data set contains a composite of the highest vertical resolution (i.e.
the "native resolution") upper air sounding data from all sources for the
Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Thunderstorms Experiment-Southeast
2017 (VORTEX-SE_2017) project. The composite includes 1803 soundings from all
VORTEX-SE 2017 sounding systems (Colorado State University, Mississippi State
University, NOAA/ATDD, Purdue University, Texas Tech University, University of
Louisiana Monroe, and University of Alabama Huntsville) as well as those from
the National Weather Service.

Versions
  1.0: This version includes the radiosonde data from the National Weather
Service and the VORTEX-SE 2017 mobile sounding systems including
Colorado State University, Mississippi State University, NOAA/ATDD,
Purdue University, Texas Tech University, and the University of
Louisiana Monroe. The University of Alabama Huntsville soundings will be
added when they becomes available.
  1.1: University of Alabama Huntsville radiosonde data have been included. No
changes were made to any data previously in the composite.
