Multi-Network Composite 5mb Vertical Resolution Sounding Composite
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/558.011

Summary
This data set includes the quality controlled 5mb vertical resolution
radiosonde data from all sources (National Weather Service and mobile
soundings from the University of Louisiana Monroe and University of Alabama
Huntsville), for the Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Thunderstorms
Experiment-Southeast 2018 (VORTEX-SE_2018) project period (9 March to 16 April
2018). A total of 971 quality-controlled soundings are contained in the final
data set.
