Iquique GAUS Radiosonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/89.118

Summary
During the VAMOS Ocean-Cloud Atmosphere-Land Study (VOCALS) campaign, an
NCAR/EOL GPS Advanced Upper-Air Sounding (GAUS) system was deployed. This
dataset is from the system located in Iquique, Chile, and the data collection
was done from October 6 to November 15, 2008. A total of 192 high resolution
radiosonde soundings were collected from the Iquique site.
