Iquique GAUS Radiosonde Data (EOL Format)
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/89.094

Summary
This dataset contains data from the NCAR GPS Advanced Upper-Air Sounding
System (GAUS) station located at Iquique, Chile for the VAMOS Ocean-Cloud
Atmosphere-Land Study (VOCALS) campaign. The variables pressure, temperature,
and relative humidity are calibrated values from measurements made by the
radiosonde. The dew point is calculated from the relative humidity and
temperature. The geopotential altitude is calculated from the hydrostatic
equation using pressure, temperature, and relative humidity. The rate of
ascent is calculated from pressure. The radiosonde position (lat, lon, GPSAlt)
and winds are measured by use of a GPS receiver in the sonde. NOTE: The VOCALS
radiosonde data sets were re-released on June 24, 2009. A correction was made
to remove a .4 mb offset incorrectly applied to the pressure data during
post-processing.
