Multi-Network Composite 5mb Vertical Resolution Sounding Composite
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/485.132

Summary
This data set contains a composite of upper air sounding data from all sources
for the Plains Elevated Convection at Night (PECAN) project interpolated to
5hPa vertical levels. The composite includes 3488 soundings from all PECAN
Fixed and Mobile PISA (PECAN Integrated Sounding Array; FP and MP
respectively) sounding systems and MGAUS mobile soundings as well as those
from the National Weather Service.
