RC - Raw Composite
------------------

.. warning:: 
   Submission of composite data has been deprecated from AQS.  AQS will stop accepting composite data in the near future.  The format is left in this document for interpreting composite data output from AQS.

Composite transactions are used to submit concentrations derived from more than one intermittent atmostpheric sample.
