Multi-Network Composite 5mb Vertical Resolution Sounding Composite
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/569.023

Summary
This data set contains a composite of upper air sounding data from all sources
for the Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Thunderstorms
Experiment-Southeast (VORTEX-SE) Meso18-19 project interpolated to 5hPa
vertical levels. The composite includes a total of 5629 soundings from the
following radiosonde systems: Mississippi State University (MSU; 129
soundings), the University of Louisiana at Monroe (ULM; 134 soundings),
NOAA/ATDD (50 soundings), NOAA/NSSL (71 soundings), Texas A&M University
(TAMU; 71 soundings), the University of Alabama Huntsville (190 soundings),
the University of South Alabama (70 soundings), and the National Weather
Service soundings from 13 stations (4914 soundings) in the region (twelve
stations have 1 second vertical resolution data and one has
mandatory/significant level vertical resolution data).
