Multi-Network Composite 5mb Vertical Resolution Sounding Composite
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/353.107

Summary
This data set is a composite of radiosondes collected from 7 sounding
platforms during the Deep Convective Clouds and Chemistry Experiment (DC3)
with data collected from 1 May 2012 through 18 July 2012. This project was
conducted in the central United States. This dataset includes a total of 5887
soundings from the following networks: ARM Radiosonde Data (238 2-second
soundings), NCAR/EOL MGAUS Colorado Sounding Data (31 1-second soundings),
NCAR/EOL MISS Colorado Radiosonde Data (27 1-second soundings), NSSL MGAUS
Oklahoma-Texas Sounding Data (39 1-second soundings), National Weather Service
(NWS) High Resolution Radiosonde Data (5520 1-second soundings), Redstone
Arsenal Radiosonde Data (10 2-second soundings), and University of Alabama
Huntsville (UAH) Mobile Alabama Sounding Data (22 1-second soundings). This
data set contains upper-air sounding data interpolated to a constant vertical
resolution of 5 hPa in the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR)
Earth Observing Laboratory (EOL) Sounding Composite Format.
