Multi-Network Highest Resolution Sounding Composite

High 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.
