Diego Garcia Radiosonde L3 Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/347.040

Summary
This dataset includes 679 high vertical resolution soundings from Diego Garcia
collected during the DYNAMO field campaign for 2011-12. Soundings were
typically released every three hours 30 September 2011 to 15 January 2012. The
station used Vaisala RS92-SGPD radiosondes. This data set is the same as Diego
Garcia Radiosonde L3 Data [/NCAR-EOL] but with the format converted to the EOL
Sounding Composite (ESC) format to match the other L2 DYNAMO sounding data
sets.
