BAMEX: Composite 5-mb Level Upper Air Data

Summary

This data set is a composite of data from all Bow Echo and Mesoscale Convective Vortex Experiment (BAMEX)sounding platforms interpolated to a constant vertical resolution of 5 hPa. Consult the Readme for more information about this data set.

Some of the release times for the MIPS soundings included in this data set were corrected. See the documentation (bamex_mips_correction_record.doc) for more details.
