Ship and Buoy Observations (ITOP Region; ASCII)
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/209.099

Summary
This data set contains Voluntary Observing Ships (VOS) Climate (VOSClim)
observations as well as observations from other ships and buoys in the western
Pacific Ocean. Observations include meteorological as well as oceanographic
parameters. These data were obtained from the NCDC Marine Data Portal and are
in common marine format (columnar ASCII).
