DC3: Multi-Network Composite 5mb Vertical Resolution Sounding Composite. Version 1.0

This data set is a composite of radiosondes collected from 7 sounding platforms during the Deep Convective Clouds and Chemistry Experiment (DC3) with data collected from 1 May 2012 through 18 July 2012. This project was conducted in the central United States. This dataset includes a total of 5887 soundings from the following networks: ARM Radiosonde Data (238 2-second soundings), NCAR/EOL MGAUS Colorado Sounding Data (31 1-second soundings), NCAR/EOL MISS Colorado Radiosonde Data (27 1-second soundings), NSSL MGAUS Oklahoma-Texas Sounding Data (39 1-second soundings), National Weather Service (NWS) High Resolution Radiosonde Data (5520 1-second soundings), Redstone Arsenal Radiosonde Data (10 2-second soundings), and University of Alabama Huntsville (UAH) Mobile Alabama Sounding Data (22 1-second soundings). This data set contains upper-air sounding data interpolated to a constant vertical resolution of 5 hPa in the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Earth Observing Laboratory (EOL) Sounding Composite Format.
