TORUS-LItE: Multi-Network Highest Resolution Sounding Composite

Summary

High vertical resolution radiosonde data from research and operational sources during the Targeted Observation by Radars and UAS of Supercells - Left-flank Intensive Experiment (TORUS-LItE) campaign converted into a common format (EOL Sounding Composite format which is a columnar ASCII format). The composite includes data from radiosondes from locations around the central United States. The radiosondes were released by NOAA/NSSL, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and NOAA/NWS (19 sites).
