University of Washington Convair-580 State Parameters
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/146.007

Summary
This dataset includes airborne measurements obtained from the Convair-580
aircraft during the Improvement of Microphysical Parameterization through
Observational Verification Experiment 1 (IMPROVE-1). This dataset contains
state parameter, temperature, and wind data in both Excel and ASCII text
formats. Parameters are not consistent across the data files in this dataset.
