TOGA COARE soundings from Darwin

This dataset consists of sounding data from Darwin in Australia (WMO 94120). Soundings were taken four times per day (00, 06, 12, and 18 UTC) during the IOP, however the 06 and 18 UTC releases provided only wind information. The data were processed through the automated, visual, and spatial quality control processes. This dataset includes pressure, temperature, dew point, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and altitude taken at a variable vertical resolution. 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.
