TOGA COARE soundings from Laoag
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/2.106

Summary
This dataset consists of sounding data from Laoag, Phillipine Islands (WMO
98223) which was operated by the Phillipines Meteorological Service. Soundings
were taken twice daily (00 and 12 UTC) during the IOP. UCAR/JOSS conducted no
quality control on these data. This dataset includes pressure, temperature,
dew point, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and altitude taken
at 10 second vertical intervals. Refer to the station README file for details.
NOTE: This dataset has been updated (5/1/2002) with corrected data for the
humidity measuement errors of the Vaisala RS 80 radiosonde (Wang et al 2002).
Please see the README for deatils.
