SAS: Multi-Network Composite Highest Resolution Upper Air Data

Summary

This data set contains a composite of the highest resolution (i.e. the "native" resolution) upper air sounding data from all sources for the Southeast Atmosphere Study (SAS). Sounding data is included from two sources: the National Weather Service (16 sites and 1438 soundings) and the NCAR/EOL ISS GAUS radiosonde site near the SOAS Centreville site in central Alabama (1 site and 105 soundings). Included are soundings from 30 May to 15 July 2013.
