Multi-Network Composite Highest Resolution Radiosonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/552.039

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
Southern Ocean Clouds, Radiation, Aerosol Transport Experimental Study
(SOCRATES) project in the EOL Sounding Composite (ESC) columnar ASCII format.
The data set contains 1888 soundings including the dropsonde data (109
soundings) from the NSF/NCAR Gulfstream-V HIAPER aircraft and the radiosonde
data from the ships R/V Investigator (234 soundings), RSV Aurora Australis
(208 soundings) and from 19 Australia, New Zealand, and Antarctica operational
locations (1337 soundings).

Versions
  1.0
  1.1: For this version the radiosondes from the R/V Investigator as well as
the radiosondes and pibals from 19 operational radiosonde sites in
Australia, New Zealand, and Antarctica have been included. The sounding
data that were in version 1.0 are unchanged in this version.
