Colombo, Sri Lanka Radiosonde L3.0 Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/347.043

Summary
This dataset includes 258 high vertical resolution soundings from Colombo, Sri
Lanka (WMO 43466) collected during the DYNAMO field campaign for 2011-12.
Soundings were typically released four times daily (00, 06, 12 and 18 UTC)
from 30 September 2011 to 6 December 2011. From 7-28 December soundings were
released at most once per day at 12 UTC. The station utilized Meisei RS-06G
radiosondes. These soundings were provided by JAMSTEC. This L3.0 version of
the data set was released 15 October 2013 and changes include the application
of PDF matching and correction for the relative humidity discontinuity at the
0C level. These adjustments were applied by JAMSTEC.
