NCAR/NSF C-130 Low Rate (1sps) Navigation, State Parameter, and Microphysics
Flight-Level Data [NCAR/EOL]
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/203.001

Summary
The Gulf Of Tehuantepec Experiment, Coupled Development of Ocean Waves and
Boundary Layers (aka OceanWaves) was an experiment that aimed to measure the
coupled development of the atmospheric boundary layer and the surface wave
field over the Gulf of Tehuantapec, off southern Mexico's Pacific coast. GOTEX
was conducted during the period from February 3 to February 29, 2004. This
dataset contains Low-Rate (LRT, 1 sps) airborne measurements obtained from the
NSF/NCAR Research Aviation Facility (RAF) C-130Q Hercules aircraft (Tail
Number N130AR). The files are in netCDF format. NOTE: These data were updated
May, 2011 to correct a systematic bias in the 3-D winds.
