National Weather Service High Resolution Radiosonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/209.097

Summary
This is one of the upper air data sets developed for the Impact of Typhoons on
the Ocean in the Pacific (ITOP) 2010. This data set includes 976 high vertical
resolution (6-second) MicroArt soundings from the six (6) National Weather
Service (NWS) rawinsonde stations in the ITOP 2010 region (Yap, WCI; Ponape,
ECI; Koror, Palau WCI; Chuuk, ECI; Majuro, Marshall Island; Guam, Marianna
Island). The data cover the period from 1 August 2010 to 31 October 2010. The
soundings were typically released twice a day (0000 and 1200 UTC). This data
set currently does not contain soundings from Majuro for the month of
September nor Yap for the month of October. The data are in EOL Sounding
Composite format (columnar ascii).
