TOGA COARE soundings from R/V Moana Wave https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/2.139 Summary This dataset consists of sounding data from aboard the Research Vessel (R/V) Moana Wave which was operated by members of the science team. Soundings were taken four times daily (00, 06, 12, 18 UTC) during participation in 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 (4/23/2002) with corrected data for the humidity measuerment errors of the Vaisala RS80 radiosonde (Wang et al 2002). Please see the README for additional information.
