Manus ARM Radiosonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/383.009

Summary
The Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Climate
Research Facility Tropical Western Pacific (TWP) site routinely releases
radiosondes twice daily (00 and 12 UTC) from its site on Manus Island, Papua
New Guinea (WMO ID 92044). This data set includes the soundings released
during the CONvective TRansport of Active Species in the Tropics (CONTRAST)
field phase (1 to 28 February 2014). A total of 59 quality controlled, high
resolution (2-second) soundings are contained in the final CONTRAST data set.
