CIRPAS Twin Otter 1-hz Navigation, State Parameter, and Microphysics
Flight-Level Data - NASA Ames format
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/111.003

Summary
This data set includes airborne measurements obtained from the CIRPAS Twin
Otter aircraft during the "Physics of Stratocumulus Tops" (POST) project off
the west coast of Monterey, CA. This data set contains 1 hertz (1 sps)
navigation, state parameter and preliminary microphysics flight level data.
The files are in NASA Ames format format. This data set contains final data.
