Multi-Network Composite Highest Resolution Radiosonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/600.028

Summary
High vertical resolution radiosonde data from research and operational sources
during the Sundowner Winds Experiment (SWEX) campaign converted into a common
format (EOL Sounding Composite format which is a columnar ASCII format) are
included in this dataset. The composite includes data from radiosondes and
dropsondes from locations around the southwestern United States. The
radiosondes were released by NCAR/EOL (two sites), University of California,
Santa Barbara (2 sites), San Jose State University (1 site), National Weather
Service (three sites), and the US Air Force (one site). Additionally,
dropsondes released by NCAR/EOL from the NPS CIRPAS Twin Otter are included.
