Multi-Network 5mb Vertical Resolution Sounding Composite
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/638.036

Summary
5mb vertical resolution sounding data from research and operational sources
during the Cold Air Outbreak Experiment in the Sub-Arctic Region (CAESAR)
campaign converted into a common format (EOL Sounding Composite format which
is a columnar ASCII format). The composite includes data from 568 radiosondes
and 116 dropsondes from locations around the Norwegian Sea. The radiosondes
were released by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute from four sites and
the dropsondes were released by NCAR/EOL from the NSF NCAR C-130 aircraft in
ten research flights.
