TOGA COARE soundings from Kanton
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/2.123

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.
