TOGA COARE soundings from Kwajalein

Project:

TOGA_COARE

Summary

This dataset consists of sounding data from Kwajalein, Marshall Islands (WMO 91366) which was operated by a U.S. Military contractor. Soundings were taken twice daily (00 and 12 UTC) during the IOP. The data were processed through the automated, visual, and spatial quality control processes. This dataset includes pressure, temperature, dew point, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and altitude taken at a variable vertical resolution. Refer to the station README file for details.
