Maldives KCO Surface Observations Hourly Means
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/22.048

Summary
This data set contains hourly means for meteorological data (wind speed, wind
direction, barometric pressure, air temperature, relative humidity and
rainfall) collected at the Kaashidhoo Climate Observatory (KCO) during the
INDOEX IFP January to March 1999. Data coverage is (inclusive) 01 January 1999
to 31 March 1999. The instruments were mounted about 14 m above sea level
(mean elevation of the site is about 0.5-1.0 m) on the top of the observation
tower, except for the rain gauge, which was mounted on top of the roof of the
observatory, about 6 m above sea level.
