TOGA COARE soundings from Funafuti
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/2.144

Summary
This dataset consists of sounding data from Funafuti, Tuvalu (WMO 91643).
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 (5/2/2002) with
corrected data for the humidity measurement errors of the Vaisala RS 80
radiosonde (Wang et al 2002). Please see the README for details.
