TOGA COARE soundings from Kuching
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/2.126

Summary
This dataset consists of sounding data from Kuching in Malaysia (WMO 96413).
Soundings were taken four time per day (00, 06, 12, and 18 UTC) during the
IOP, however the 06 and 18 UTC releases contain only wind information.
UCAR/JOSS conducted no quality conrol 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.
