TOGA COARE soundings from Kanton
Summary
This dataset consists of sounding data from Kanton in the Phoenix Islands (WMO 91701). Soundings were taken twice per day (00 and 21 UTC) during the IOP. UCAR/JOSS conducted no quality control on these data. This dataset includes pressure, temperature, dew point, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and altitude taken at a variable vertical resolution. Refer to the station README file for details. NOTE: This dataset has been updated (5/2/2002) with corrected data for the humidity measurement errors of the Vaisala RS 80 radiosonde (Wang et al 2002). Please see the README for details.
