Gan ARM AMF Radiosonde L3 Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/347.008

Summary
This is one of the upper air data sets developed for the Dynamics of the
Madden-Julian Oscillation (DYNAMO) 2011-2012 project. This data set includes
1068 high vertical resolution (2-sec) soundings from the Atmospheric Radiation
Measurement (ARM) M1 Airport (Addu Atoll), Gan Island, Maldives site,
collected during the DYNAMO field campaign from 22 September 2011 through 9
February 2012. There are typically eight soundings per day at 00, 03, 06, 09,
12, 15, 18, and 21 UTC. This data set contains data from 22 September 2011 to
9 February 2012. After 9 February 2012 the Maldivian Meteorological Service
continued to conduct releases once or twice per day through the end of the
DYNAMO field phase. Those data will be part of a separate data set.
