TOGA COARE soundings from Tarawa
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/2.143

Summary
This dataset consists of sounding data from Tarawa, Kiribati (WMO 91610).
Soundings were taken twice per day (00 and 12 UTC) during the IOP. Some
soundings were also taken during the EMP. UCAR/JOSS conducted no quality
control on these data. This dataset includes pressure, temperature, dew point,
and relative humidity taken at 10 second vertical intervals. No wind data were
collected at this site. 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.
