TOGA COARE soundings from Yap
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/2.115

Summary
This dataset consists of sounding data from Yap Island in the Caroline Islands
(WMO 91413) which was operated by the U.S. National Weather Service. Soundings
were taken twice per day (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 six second
vertical intervals. Refer to the station README file for details.
