1997 Soundings from Cocos Island, Costa Rica
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/15.201

Summary
A temporary GPS rawinsonde station was installed on Cocos Island, Costa Rica
for PACS-97 by NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory and operated by rangers
from the CR Park Service. These data were processed through automated and
visual quality control. The dataset includes pressure, temperature, humidity,
winds and altitude taken at 2 seconds vertical resolution.
