VORTEX-95 High Resolution Surface Composite

Summary

The VORTEX-95 High Resolution Surface Composite dataset contains data collected from ASOS, AWOS, and Oklahoma Mesonet observing stations in the VORTEX domain at temporal resolutions of 5-minute for the ASOS and Oklahoma Mesonet networks, and 20-minute for the AWOS network. All data have been converted to a common format, and uniform quality control has been applied by OFPS. See the "readme" file for more information on QC procedures.
