Multi-Network 5mb Vertical Resolution Sounding Composite
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/600.029

Summary
Interpolated 5hPa vertical resolution radiosonde data from research and
operational sources during the SWEX campaign converted into a common format
(EOL Sounding Composite format which is a columnar ASCII format). 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), and the National Weather Service (three sites).
Additionally, dropsondes released by NCAR/EOL from the NPS CIRPAS Twin Otter
are included.
